Sorry, I thought the field was required. Try this:
if(oForm.discode.value.length > 0 && !(oForm.discount.value == 'xyz123' ||
oForm.discount.value == 'abc1234')) {
This says if they enter a value, and that value is NOT 'xyz123' or
'abc1234', then display the error.
If they don't enter a value, it will never evaluate the comparison
condition.
See how that works. If it doesn't work, post your code as you have it so we
can look at it all.

Hi Dave
the line - if(oForm.discode.value != 'xyz123' && oForm.discode.value !=
'abc1234') { is giving an error - saying Expected ';'
also i wanted to claify - i might not have been so clear in my request...
the user could enter 1 of 2 possible entries into the non-required field...
'xyz123' OR 'abc1234'
i only add that in because it looked like in the coding below - that it
would only accept the answer of 'xyz123' - do you know how you could have it
check for both?
Thank you!!
