Hi, I'm new to Javascript and I'm having trouble with my function to check for missing information in the code. Any ideas? Thanks

post your appropriate code....

function validate_required(field,alerttxt)
{
with (field)
{
if (value==null||value=="")
{
alert(alerttxt);return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
}

function validate_form(thisform)
{
with (thisform)
{
if (validate_required(first name,"Missing Information!")==false)
{first name.focus();return false;}
}
}


<form action="submitpage.htm"
onsumbit="return validate_form(this)"
method="post">
</form>
