Help

Sep 26th, 2008

I'm still new to JavaScript and I'm having trouble with an assignment. I can't seem to get my functions to work right for the alert to check for missing information when you submit the page and when you select the checkbox for the same as billing address? Thanks for the help!!

I found several mistakes on your code..like:

•

<form onreset="alert('The form will be reset')">

where did you closed this form..
and i think you don't use form in another form..if you want use more forms in your page..use them after closing the first form..

And for all types of validations:
