Hi orr16875,

Security has nothing to do with it as far as I can tell... We are just refering to the DOM elements incorrectly.

Check it out, changed parts are bolded:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function validate(el)
{
  if(el.Fname.value=="")
  {
    alert("Please enter first name");
    el.Fname.focus();
    return false;
  }
  if(el.Lname.value=="")
  {
    alert("Please enter last name");
    el.Lname.focus();
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}
//-->

<form action="mail.php" name="thisForm" id="thisForm" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onSubmit="return validate(this);">

<p>First Name <input type="text" name="Fname" id="Fname" size="30" maxlength="25" /></p>
<p>Last Name <input type="text" name="Lname" id="Lname" size="30" maxlength="25" /></p>
<p>Password &nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="password" name="psswd" size="30" maxlength="8" /></p>

<h4>your favorite food</h4>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="food" value="pizza" checked="checked" />Pizza<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="food" value="chicken" />chicken<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="food" value="eggs" />eggs<br /></p>

<h4>Your gender</h4>
<p><input type="radio" name="gender" value="female" checked="checked" />female<br />
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="male" />male<br /></p>

<p><input type="submit" value="send" /><input type="reset" value="clear" /></p>
</form>

</body></html>

Works in IE and Firefox!
