Your code is far from being a proper XHTML document, but works in IE, since its really forgiving. A few things:
  • All the form elements should go in the form tag. Its only when they go inside the form tag, a name attribute given to them is valid, otherwise name attribute for non-form elements is deprecated.
  • The language attribute of <script> tag is deprecated. Use 'type ' instead. Something like <script type="text/javascript">.
  • Its always recommended to place your script in the header section or include it at the bottom of your page.
  • The way you are accessing the elements is completely wrong. One possible way would be to just pass the form element to the validate function and let the function pull out values from the form. Something like this: <input type="submit" value="Push" onclick="validate(this.form);" />
I would recommend you to get hold of a good tutorial (google is your friend) and start some serious reading.
