Help Error: Expected ')'

  #1  
Aug 8th, 2005
Can anyone tell me why I keep getting this error when I try to open this page in Internet Explorer. It is an Intranet, so I can't actually give the site to view, but here is the code. The error keeps referring to line 20, I have looked through for the last 2 days and can not figure it out, any help would greatly be apprectiated.

<script Language="JavaScript" Type="text/javascript"><!--
function FrontPage_Form1_Validator(theForm)

{
if (theForm.Last Name.value == "")
{
alert("Please enter a value for the \"Last Name\" field.");
theForm.Last Name.focus();

Shortly, I will firstly recomend to you not to use names of variables as follow

if (theForm.Last Name.value == "")

space between words which join for the name of variables are not good.

Secondly please can you provide full code for this script including html, it will help a lot to see it and understand what is going on.

Thanks
