    		return false;
   		 }
  	
	else
    		{
    		return true;
    		}
 	 }
}


function validate_form(thisform)
{
		with (thisform)
  		{
  			if (validatebox(Givname,"Given name must be filled out!")==false)
  
			{
			Givname.focus();

I don't know what else may be wrong, but "super" is a reserved word in IE; using it as a variable name causes an error.

That worked:|
