Simple js validation not firing.

In the isDate functions, replace expenqryForm with form (the variable passed as an argument to the function).

What do the isDate functions look like now? Do you get any errors?

[CODE=javascript]
function isdate(form)
{
if(form.fromDat e.value =="")
{
return false
}
else
{
return true
}
}
[/CODE]
This is my isdate function. The problem gets solved by adding the script directly in my jsp page in the <head> but when i try to use the external file it gives me Object expected error, but it still gives me Object expected error if i add the script in the jsp page, but it works.

fromDate and toDate have underscores, i.e. from_Date and to_Date.

Thats no problem coz i just changed my naming convention to something better...so from_Date becomes fromDate....The problem exists for a js file used externally.

Which line does the error occur on?

The lines are 43,47,59,55,51 shown in IE browser. Im sorry im not sure on how to determine which line it is...is there a way?

Check the error console in, say, Firefox.

Ok i found out in firefox, that the lines that i mentioned were not related to the js that i am working with.....but nothing related to why 'this' js script is not working? working fine when i include the script between <script> in <head>, but not for src property....i cant understand why?
Any answers :) ?

Could it be the calendar script?
Are the whole contents of the script that you're including, just the validation code posted earlier?

It could'nt be the calendar script. The script that i posted in my first post is all the script that im using...ive done this before, but for some reason this is not working ...im amused by this.
I would also like to add that when i place my script in a external file(.js) and call it the error i get i "everything is not defined" !!. How can this be possible?

I know this might seem like a silly question, but is the external file called "ipubscript1.js " and is it in the same directory as the main file?

No a valid question:). Yup, its in the same directory in which my jsp page is situated in the WEB-INF folder. I got a question, does having multiple js files/scripts in the jsp pages in any way has an effect on the other present script?.
