Another question -- what if you have two forms?

window.onload=function()
	{
	var form=document.getElementById('a');
	function submitter()
		{
		return checkForm(form)
		}
	form.onsubmit = submitter;
	var form=document.getElementById('b');
	function submitter()
		{
		return checkForm(form)
		}
	form.onsubmit = submitter;
	}

Doesn't work for two forms.

How can you have an unobtrusive onsubmit function tied to an unique 
id form on a document that contains several forms -- such that IF its 
submit button is clicked, then that form is processed (i.e., 
evaluated for content) while not processing the other forms?

Now, I can do this with an in-line:

onsubmit="return checkForm(this);"

for each form, but how do you do that and be unobtrusive?

Cheers,
