using java script to validate information inside fieldset

[javaarray]

I am trying to use the following java script to validate information inside a <fieldset>

Here is the javascript code:
<code>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function check_form(form)
{
return_boolean = true;
obj = eval(form);
for(i=0;i<obj.length;i++)
{
alert(obj.length);
field_name = obj.myForm.name.element.name;
alert(field_name);
if (field_name.indexOf(&quot;_ck&quot != -1)
{
if (obj.element.value == &quot;&quot
{
obj.element.style.backgroundColor = &quot;red&quot;;
return_boolean = false
}
else
{
obj.element.style.backgroundColor = &quot;white&quot;;
}
}
}
return return_boolean;
}
</script>

Here is my simple example I am trying to get to work:

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return check_form(this)&quot;>

<fieldset style=&quot;border:1 solid blue; width:250px;height:100px;&quot;>
<legend align=&quot;left&quot;> CONTACT INFORMATION</legend><BR>
<label for=&quot;firstname&quot;>First Name</label><input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;firstname_ck&quot;>

</SELECT>
</fieldset>
<input type=submit value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</form>
</code>
Thanks for any help,

try this on for size:
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function check_form(form)
{
return_boolean = true;
obj = eval(myForm);
for(i=0;i<obj.length;i++)
{
alert(obj.length);
var field_name = obj.name;
alert(field_name);
if (field_name.indexOf(&quot;_ck&quot != -1)
{
if (obj.value == &quot;&quot
{
obj.style.backgroundColor = &quot;red&quot;;
return_boolean = false
}
else
{
obj.element.style.backgroundColor = &quot;white&quot;;
}
}
}
return return_boolean;
}
</script>

None: it works in everyone else’s office, it must work in yours too.

forgot that italics thing
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function check_form(form)
{
return_boolean = true;
obj = eval(myForm);
for(c=0;c<obj.length;c++)
{
alert(obj.length);
var field_name = obj[c].name;
alert(field_name);
if (field_name.indexOf(&quot;_ck&quot != -1)
{
if (obj[c].value == &quot;&quot
{
obj[c].style.backgroundColor = &quot;red&quot;;
return_boolean = false
}
else
{
obj.element.style.backgroundColor = &quot;white&quot;;
}
}
}
return return_boolean;
}
</script>
