[thelist] JavaScript Form Validation

This little script works great, except when it hits the form.submit(); line,
and then it returns an error: "Object doesn't support this property or
method."  And if I replace

else {
form.submit();
}

with a simple "return true;" then the form never submits.  I should also
add, here's the form tag:

response.write " <form name='form' action='fubar.asp' method='post'
onSubmit='simpleCheck(this); return false;'>"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<script language="javascript"><!--

function simpleCheck(form) {

if (form.first_name.value == "") {
alert("Please include a first name");
form.first_name.select();
return false;}

else {
form.submit();
}

}
//--></script>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks,

Casey
