JavaScript
My java scirpt is not working right. It is simple pre-vailidation form and I can not get the script to work. It is supposed to validate each field but I can not get it to validate past the first name. I stripped out all of the other garbage so the code would not be confusing Should be a copy paste to notepad. Little help please
