script doesn't work in Netscape

[RycherX]

What do I have to do here to make it both IE and Netscape compatible?





function Blank_TextField_Validator()
{
// Check the value of the element named EMPNUM
// from the form named Main
if (Main.EMPNUM.value == "&quot
{
// If null display and alert box
alert("Please enter Employee Number."
// Place the cursor on the field for revision
Main.EMPNUM.focus();
// return false to stop further processing
return (false);
}
//CHECKS TO MAKE SURE VALUES ARE NUMBERS ONLY
var input = Main.EMPNUM.value

if (isNaN(input)) {
alert("Entries must be numbers only."
Main.EMPNUM.focus();
return false;

}

// set var radio_choice to false
var radio_choice = false;

// Loop from zero to the one minus the number of radio button selections
for (counter = 0; counter < Main.main_menu.length; counter++)
{
// If a radio button has been selected it will return true
// (If not it will return false)
if (Main.main_menu[counter].checked)
radio_choice = true;
}

if (!radio_choice)
{
// If there were no selections made display an alert box
alert(&quot;Please make button selection.&quot
return (false);
}
return (true);

you had two problems:
1) missing closing brackets for the function.
2) you have to add document., to specify it's an element under current document.
so this should work (worked for me with mozilla):

function Blank_TextField_Validator()
{
        // Check the value of the element named EMPNUM
        // from the form named Main
		var theForm;
		theForm = document.Main;
        if (document.Main.EMPNUM.value == "")
        {
                // If null display and alert box
                alert("Please enter Employee Number.");
                // Place the cursor on the field for revision
                document.Main.EMPNUM.focus();
                // return false to stop further processing
                return (false);
        }
               //CHECKS TO MAKE SURE VALUES ARE NUMBERS ONLY
        var input = document.Main.EMPNUM.value

        if (isNaN(input)) {
                alert("Entries must be numbers only.");
                document.Main.EMPNUM.focus();
                return false;

       }

        // set var radio_choice to false
        var radio_choice = false;

        // Loop from zero to the one minus the number of radio button selections
        for (counter = 0; counter < document.Main.main_menu.length; counter++)
        {
                // If a radio button has been selected it will return true
                // (If not it will return false)
                if (document.Main.main_menu[counter].checked)
                        radio_choice = true;
        }

        if (!radio_choice)
        {
                // If there were no selections made display an alert box
                alert(&quot;Please make button selection.&quot;)
                return (false);
        }
        return (true);      
	}
