Hi and welcome to the Ranch ,
Please edit your post and use "Code" tags to format your code, it is hard to read your code right now without formatting.

Where is the JSF part in your code? Your sample form is pure HTML.

With JSF's built-in validation feature there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use JavaScript for validation. If you are indeed using JSF then you should find a good resource for learning JSF and review the Validation features.
