js doesn't work on IE7 and/or vista I have simple js form validation, and it doesn't work, no matter how enabled the browser is. I've tried everything. I even tried: <form action="mailto:..." > but it'll popup the windows alert about using the email program (outlook/outlook express) completely ignoring the js validation.
please your help.
this is the file:

Re: js doesn't work on IE7 and/or vista 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:

Hi orr16875,
It appears that I'm still able to get it to work... What version of IE7 are you running (Help -> About Internet Explorer -> Version: XXXXXXX)?
Here's an image of it working on my IE7 install version 7.0.5730.13.

Moving the script and noscript tags and content inside the body (where they belong), and changing onSubmit to onsubmit makes the file Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional (according to w3.org).
Either way, the file works on Konqueror and Iceweasel on Debian/Linux.
