Validation script cant seem to work

[vanan saravanan]

I'm trying to validate some fields in my form but cant get it to work. I think its because of the submit button code. Could someone please help identify the problem.

<script language="JavaScript"<
function validate_form ( )
{
if ( document.leaveform.dc1.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Please select start date" );
valid = false;
return valid;

}
}


<input name="b1" type="button" value="Submit Without Preview"
<ON CLICK ="this.form.action< ='fastsaveregistrationdetails.jsp';this.form.submit()"<

hi,

I hope this may help:

hmm..to diagnose what's wrong it would be nice to see
HTML code of your form (the best rounded by [ CODE ][ /CODE ] tags )

The problem is i cant change the following code as i'm using it for having multiple submit buttons on one form. Please advice on how i can run the validation script based on this. Thank you..

input name="b1" type="button" value="Submit Without Preview"
<ON CLICK ="this.form.action< <='fastsaveregistrationdetails.jsp';this.form.submit()"<

And where are you calling this validation code? I do not see it.
