change the function like this ... it will work

function validate_form(thisform)
{
	with (thisform)
	{
		if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false)
		{
			email.focus();
			return false;
		}	
		else if (validate_required(city,"city fill it")==false)
			{
				city.focus();
				return false;
			}
		
	}
}
