form validation

[Danny]

This is part of a form validation script.

I put the the call to this functin behind an onclick event on a button, but
how can I access the names of all the form elements below? For starters, I
just want to print the names of each element out. IT is not working.
I know the loop is being iterated, because if I put a dumm prompt with just
text, it will print each time.

if (!its_empty(sFu nction))
{
oForm.action = sFunction;

}

// Loop through all the form elements

for (counter = 0; counter < oForm.length; counter++) {

y = (prompt("Name of form element",oForm[counter].name))
}

}

Telling us "It is not working" is like telling your physician
that you're sick. What, exactly is not working? What's happening
that you don't expect, or what is not happening that you do expect?

Also, it's hard to debug code fragments that refer to variables
and functions that we can't see. We can't tell if its_empty()
is breaking something, and have to trust you that oForm is a
valid reference to a form. It would be better to post a subset
that shows the problem, and nothing else (ie, we don't need to
see you set the action).

Finally, a better way to refer to the name of the i-th form
element is:
oForm.elements[counter].name
