[thelist] loop through form fields for validation?

I believe the following will work:

function validate(){
//frmName is the name of the form
frmLength = document.frmName.length;
isEmpty = false;

for (i=0; i<frmLength;i++){
    if(document.frmName[i].value == "")
        isEmpty = true;  //one element is empty
}

if(istEmpty)
    return false;  //at least one element is empty so return false
return true; //all fields are non-empty so return true;

}

This may not be *exactly* what you need but it may help you get started.
