I think you need to be referring to your form elements as:
document.forms[0].fieldname.value == ""
as opposed to:
document.form.fieldname.value == ""
where forms[0] assumes there is only one form on your page. If there is more
than one form, you would use forms[1], forms[2], etc.
Alternatively, you can refer to the "name" attribute of the form tag":
document.myForm.fieldname.value
I didn't check to see if "form" is what you named your form. If it is, try
changing it, as it might be a reserved word.
Hope this helps,
Dave.
