Seona, I feel your pain. There have been times I've asked serious questions to a list and had either flippant replies or no replies at all. I've wanted to say "LOOK YOU BUNCH OF B*S*A*DS, I REALLY NEED TO KNOW THIS. YOU ANSWER EVERYONE ELSE"S QUESTIONS WHAT"S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT MINE?" In many years of being on lists, I've never found that giving in to such temptation really works. All you do is get flooded with lots of 'chill out' or 'hey lose the attitude' messages.
But no one here is obliged to help you. We're all just like you - doing our thing as best we can and sharing our knowledge where we can. If no one responded, perhaps no one wanted to, or perhaps no one really saw your question, or perhaps the people who might otherwise have helped were busy doing other stuff or any of a dozen other reasons. The only thing you can really do is just ask your question again politely and see if that works better. Perhaps it was timing that was the problem, nothing to do with you. Anyway, if it helps you, you have a spelling error on your page- Australians spell it 'organisation" not "organization".

I do offer my sincere thanks to the two people who responded to my JavaScript problem, but I must confess to being disappointed that no one has offered any critiques of the site itself or solutions (or even suggestions) on how to deal with the other two problems. When I put the question about the JavaScript validation there, it was something of an afterthought which I'm now almost wishing I hadn't included (although that might have meant that the whole post would simply vanish into obscurity like when I first posted these questions a few weeks ago). So I'm left with a few possible conclusions: a) The questions weren't on-topic enough to be worth answering - don't think this one is the case. b) The questions weren't interesting enough to be worth answering. c) I'm just chatting to myself here - really hope this one isn't the case.
