I am using the following jquery to validate the details from the form above:

$(function(){
    $(".submit").click(function(){
               var name = $("#name").val();
               var cmpName = $("#cmpName").val();
               var email = $("#email").val();
               var tel = $("#tel").val();
               var mobile = $("#mobile").val();
               var addr1 = $("#address1").val();
               var addr2 = $("#address2").val();
               var city = $("#city").val();
               var postal = $("#postal").val();
               var province = $("#province").val();
               var country = $("#country").val();
               var serialNo = $("#serialNo").val();   

               var param = 'name='+ name + '&cmpName=' + cmpName + '&email=' + email + '&tel=' + tel + '&mobile=' + mobile + '$addr1=' + addr1 + '&addr2='
               + addr2 + '&city=' + city + '&postal=' + postal + '&province=' + province + '&country=' + country + '&serialNo=' + serialNo; 


               if(name=='' || email=='' || tel=='' || addr1=='' || city=='' || postal=='' || province=='' || country=='' || serialNo==''){ 
                    $('.success').fadeOut(200).hide();
                    $('.error').fadeOut(200).show();
               }else{
                    $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
                        url: "test.php",
                        data: param,
                        success: function(){
                             $('.success').fadeIn(200).show();
                             $('.error').fadeOut(200).hide();
                        }   
                });
               }
               return false;
        });
});

So when I click on the submit button with an empty name for example, I get an error message. The problem is that when I click on the submit button once again the error disappears although the name is empty. After that I click on the submit button again the error appears again. Did I miss out something in the code?

Your help is kindly appreciated.

Lines 21 & 22 Change to:-

$('.success').fadeOut(200);
$('.error').fadeIn(200);
