Do you have two pages calling FrontPage_Form1_Validator? Try changing one of them to Form2.

i have this line at the top of the page

<%@LANGUAGE="JavaScript" codepage="1256"%>

doesn't this have anything to do with the problem ??

i created new form in a demo page .. no extra code in it .. just the form and fields and the validation .. for testing .. but it doesn't work ..

Analysis
At a guess, everything is trying to call the first form validation routine. If you try the first one it will probably work.
What you can do about it
Have a look for the autogenerated files: could be global.asa or one of the files it includes. Can you change the routine?

I don't have frontpage 2003 so I can't do this. What happens if you change the name or id of the form to Form2? Does the autogenerated routine change its name?

still not working !!

Have a look at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/de...olsusingjavascript_writingthevalidationscript

Tells you how to do it without the autogenerated stuff.

Maybe you could provide a URL for the problem page. Sounds like a good place to start.

Hope I have been of some help,
