Argh!
Just finding a simple bit of code off the internet is proving to be so difficult because people over complicate their example scripts with crap functions that do unessacery work.
Basically, all I want is a simple form validation routine which checks to see if all items on the form are filled in...
The ones that I have tried don't seem to work!
The items I have on my form (which is named "details") are as follows
1 textbox named: "title"
1 textarea named: "introduction"
1 textarea named: "the product"
1 textarea named: "item"
Could anyone just give us a simple script that will check to see if all of these fields are filled in?
Cheers

Yeah, as Nimco said below.
I think the open / close element method is a lot better than having a value attribute in this case, due to the amount of text a ) then you shouldn't have a
> problem.
Cheers cjh - I think this is what caused the problem in the first place, I remember tidying up my code and that was probably what made it work.
Oh and nice one for the auto focus code!

You can also include an auto-focus within each check if you like, for example:
if (formnamehere.realname.value == "") {
alert("Required field: Please enter your name...");
document.formnamehere.realname.focus();
return false;
}
You should also watch out for the way you code in a - contains a space.
- contains two line breaks.
As long as you keep your ) then you shouldn't have a problem.
if (formnamehere.realname.value == "") {
alert("Required field: Please enter your name...");
document.formnamehere.realname.focus();
return false;
}

wtf?
It's just randomly started working.

Grrr, I hate it when things like this happen.
Case closed, Cheers.

Just had a look and it is those pesky "textarea" things which are causing the problem.
Input boxes work fine...!

Thanks...
Although, It doesn't seem to work properly.
Say if I don't enter anything within the form and click submit, it'll prompt me to ask for a title. After inputting the title and leaving the rest of the form blank, it just moves onto the next page without validatiing the rest of the form.
Any ideas why?
It might be worth mentioning, the other 3 items are 'textareas'

Put this in the HEAD:
change realname,email,message as required to match the names you've used in the form fields.
Put this on the end of your FORM tag: onsubmit="return validate();
