My JSP does not read the javascript

Hello friends,
i've a "editAccount.jsp" page wherein i accept various details from users. And then check their input (Eg. Email field should not be blank)through a function in javascript.
But my JSP does not check the input and directly stores the values in database(even if email field is empty)
I can't figure out where actually the problem lies.
I tried all the possible options, but in vain.
The javascript works fine on other pages - like login, but not on such pages as creating account(newUsers.jsp) or editing account(editAccount.jsp).
i've also tried calling the javascript function on "onclick" event of submit image, but it still doesn't work.

Can the problem be because of Datepicker's code shown in following snippet?

Pls. help ASAP.
I've to install my final software in college tomorow.
Thank you.

My code for "editAccount.jsp" is as follows:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Account</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="datetimepicker.js">

not urgent. Come back next year.
Gives you time to learn about code tags, html, Javascript, Java, JSP, etc. etc.

I've solved it. There was n problem, just required to write entire script once again.
