Why wont this work? function

[itsnickj]

Again, I'm trying to validate a form, in my fields i have onblur="validate_form()"

and the function is:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function validate_form()
{
valid = true;
if (document.form.name.var RegExp/^[A-Za-z]/)
{
alert ( "please enter a valid name." );
valid = false;
}

return valid;
}
//-->
</script>

This is the function that you've decided would be best to implement on your site? Who wrote it? It doesn't look like anything that would work.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function validate_required(field,alerttxt)
{
with (field)
{
if (value==null||value=="")
{alert(alerttxt);return false;}
else {return true}
}
}
function validate_form4(thisform)
{
with (thisform)
{
if (validate_required(Agent_Empid4,"Agent Name Required!")==false)
{Agent_Empid4.focus();return false;}
}
}
</script>

//Put this on your form field//
<form name="myform" onSubmit="return validate_form4(this);">
<input name="Agent_Empid4" type="text" id="Agent_Empid4" size="100" maxlength="100" onblur="return validate_form4(this)">
</form>
