IE compatibility 1

[juvesteve]

I've written a piece of javascript that works fine in firefox but doesn't in IE:

<script type='text/javascript'>


function formValidation(){

	var f_name = document.getElementById('f_name');
	var s_name = document.getElementById('s_name');
	var email = document.getElementById('email');
	var comment = document.getElementById('comment');
	
	

if(isAlphabet(f_name, "Please enter a valid first name")){
if(isAlphabet(s_name, "Please enter a valid surname")){
[COLOR=red]if(madeSelection(age, "Please select an age category")){[/color]
if(emailValidator(email, "Please enter a valid email address: (username@example.com)")){
if(isEmpty(comment, "Please enter a comment")){

return true;
}
}
}
}
}
	
	
return false;
	
}

function isEmpty(elem, helperMsg){
	if(elem.value.length == 0){
		alert(helperMsg);
		elem.focus();
		return true;
	}
	return false;

}

function isAlphabet(elem, helperMsg){
	var alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z]+$/;
	if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){
		return true;
	}else{
		alert(helperMsg);
		elem.focus();
		return false;
	}
}



function emailValidator(elem, helperMsg){
	var emailExp = /^[\w\-\.\+]+\@[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-z0-9]{2,4}$/;
	if(elem.value.match(emailExp)){
		return true;
	}else{
		alert(helperMsg);
		elem.focus();
		return false;
	}
}


[COLOR=red]function madeSelection(elem, helperMsg){
	if(elem.value == "choose"){
		alert(helperMsg);
		elem.focus();
		return false;
	}else{
		return true;
	}
}
[/color]
</script>

It's a contact form with validation so that the user enters the right information. In IE it doesn't seem to work from function madeSelection onwards.

I would be grateful if anyone could help me with this.
Thanks.
