I don't know where you got this code but it looks like you're trying to use a library someone has put together that has a Validator object in it:

Code:

var frmvalidator = new Validator("myform");

If you want to use this object you'll need to include the constructor for it. Otherwise, you're missing the code do to validation. You can find some validation code here.

For what you are trying to validate you don't need some huge class. Just check that the fields are filled in and something is selected in the drop down. The link brandon post should be more than sufficient.

Yes, AricC is right. It would be better for you to build the simple validation that like that found on my link than to try to integrate some pre-built class. Thanks for the thought AricC!
