Try using this script if you like and be sure to give your form a name and
use it in place of "formname" in the if statements, this should work for you
using a plain html form.
<script type=text/javascript>
function validateForm() {
var allOk = true;
var errorString = "The following are required fields:\n";
// validate their email
var validEmail =
/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
if (!validEmail.test(document.formname.email_address.value))
{
allOk = false;
errorString += "\n- Email Address";
}
// require first name
if (!document.formname.password.value) {
allOk = false;
errorString += "\n- Password";
}
if (!allOk)
{
alert(errorString);
return false;
}
return allOk;
}
</script>
