You should either give us the url of the page or its source if it is not on 
the Internet. Better yet, a skeleton of just a few lines that does not work 
as you think it should.

When you say "current", do you mean the form element which currently has 
focus? Does each form element have an "onBlur" validation function applied 
to it, or just onKeypress/onClick? Did you remember to return "true" in all 
of those functions when the form values are okay?

I see that you are sumitting with the button, but some people will press 
<Enter> to submit a form regardless of the instructions on the screen. So 
you should have "onKeypress" handlers for your checkboxes and "onClick" 
handlers for your text fields, etc.
