The case sensitivity thing was not an issue ... the actual fieldname was OK.
The validation is working BUT, the document is just not submitting.
here's the validation script...
function validateform(form)
{
var submitform = true;
var manfields = "The Following fields are Mandatory:\n\n";
var form = document.MyFormName;
if (form.TXTACTIVITIES.value == '')
{
submitform = false;
manfields += "Extracurricular activities description\n";
}
if (form.TXTESSAY.value == '')
{
submitform = false;
manfields += "Personal Statement\n";
}
if(submitform == false)
{
alert(manfields);
return false;
}
}

This looks like a case sensitivity thing. Remember that JavaScript is case
sensitive so variable TOTO != toto. In the posted code you have GoToPage and
GOTOPAGE...
Sometimes "return foo(bar);" doesn't work well in onClick, don't know why?
try "if ( foo(bar) ) { return true; } else { return false; }... that might
be it otherwise post the validation function.
