function validate(frm) { //v1.0

	if (frm.pc.value.length == 0){alert("Please answer Question-3.");return false};
	if (frm.Features.value.length == 0){alert("Please answer Question-12.");return false};
	if (frm.Easybanking.value.length == 0){alert("Please answer Question-13.");return false};
	if (frm.comments.value.length == 0){alert("Please answer Question-14.");return false};
	 var val1 = 0;
	for( i = 0; i < frm.gender.length; i++ )
	{
		if( frm.gender[i].checked == true)
			{val1 = frm.gender[i].value;break;}
	}
	var val2 = 0;
	for( i = 0; i < frm.age.length; i++ )
	{
		if( frm.age[i].checked == true)
			{val2 = frm.age[i].value;break;}
	}
		var val3 = 0;
	for( i = 0; i < frm.visit.length; i++ )
	{
		if( frm.visit[i].checked == true)
			{val3 = frm.visit[i].value;break;}
	}
		var val4 = 0;
	for( i = 0; i < frm.medium.length; i++ )
	{
		if( frm.medium[i].checked == true)
			{val4 = frm.medium[i].value;break;}
	}
		var val5 = 0;
	for( i = 0; i < frm.purchases.length; i++ )
	{
		if( frm.purchases[i].checked == true)
			{val5 = frm.purchases[i].value;break;}
	}
		var val6 = 0;
	for( i = 0; i < frm.navigation.length; i++ )
	{
		if( frm.navigation[i].checked == true)
			{val6 = frm.navigation[i].value;break;}
	}
	var val7 = 0;
	for( i = 0; i < frm.Internetbanking.length; i++ )
	{
		if( frm.Internetbanking[i].checked == true)
			{val7 = frm.Internetbanking[i].value;break;}
	}
	
	var chks = document.getElementsByName('find');
	var checkCount = 0;
	for (var i = 0; i < chks.length; i++)
	{
	if (chks[i].checked)
	{
	checkCount++;
	}
	}
	if (checkCount < 1)
	{
	alert("Please select at least one.");
	return false;
	}
			
   	var val = 0;for( i = 0; i < frm.member.length; i++ ){if( frm.member[i].checked == true){val = frm.member[i].value;break;}}
    if ((val == "yes")&&(frm.memberno.value.length ==0)) {alert("SGE member number is mandatory.");return false};
