Javascript is case-sensitive script language. theField and thefield, thisForm and thisform.

function isempty(theField)
 {
   if(theField.value=="") 
   {
    return true;
    }
else {
    return false;
 }
} 
function isRequired(thisForm)
{ var Empty= false;
if(isEmpty(thisForm.loginid))
{
alert("THIS FIELD IS REQUIRED. PLEASE FILL IT!!");
Empty = true;
}
if (Empty== false && isEmpty(thisForm.password)== true)
{
alert("THIS FIELD IS REQUIRED. PLEASE FILL IT!!");
Empty = true;
}
if(Empty== false)
{
document.thisForm.submit();
}
}
