Problem: dialog box alert () with chrome + safari

[Harmony60]

I have a small problem with JavaScript in safari and google chrome (not yet tested with firefox).

Let me explain: I'm enthusiasm to create a new website for our company and it is a party with a form. In this form I must control the content before sending. That is to say whether all fields are filled, etc. If a field is missing, I have a box dialog (function alert ()) that appears informing me to fill in empty areas.

Under IE8 it works very well, but in Chrome or Safari, when I validate the form, even as some fields or all fields are empty, it sends back a form without any data without my dialog box appears.

Does someone has an idea where the problem may be?

Here is the code form ( "envoi.inc.php" retrieves the data and transmit them by mail to an address in-house):

<form action="inc/envoi.inc.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="formula" onsubmit="MM_validateForm('nom','','R','prename','','R','address','','R','numero','','R','cp','','R','commune','','R','telephone','','R','email','','RisEmail');return document.MM_returnValue"> 
 
Name :<br><input type="text" name="name" size=30><span class="Style25">*</span></br> 
Prename :<br><input type="text" name="prename" size=30><span class="Style25">*</span></br> 
Address :<br><input type="text" name="address" size=30><span class="Style25">*</span> N° : <input type="text" name="numero" size="4"><span class="Style25">*</span></br? 
Code Postal :<br><input type="text" name="cp" size="4"><span class="Style25">*</span></br> 
Commune :<br><input type="text" name="community" size=30><span class="Style25">*</span></br> 
Tel :<br><input type="text" name="telephone" size=30><span class="Style25">*</span></br> 
E-mail :<br><input type="text" name="email" size=30><span class="Style25">*</span></br> 
Relates :  
 <SELECT name="list" size="1" class="style1"> 
 <OPTION VALUE="0">Choose</OPTION> 
 <OPTION VALUE="1">A</OPTION> 
 <OPTION VALUE="2">Two</OPTION> 
 <OPTION VALUE="3">Other</OPTION> 
 </SELECT>< /br> 
Your message :<br><textarea name="comment" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea>< /br> 
<input class="style1" type="submit" name="Send" VALUE="Send"> 
<input class="style1" type="reset" VALUE="Clear"> 
</form>

here is the script of checking fields:

function MM_validateForm() 
 { 
 if (document.getElementById) 
  { 
  var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments; 
  for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) 
   { 
   test=args[i+2]; 
   val=document.getElementById(args[i]); 
   if (val) 
    { 
    nm=val.name; 
    if ((val=val.value)!="" ) 
     { 
     if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) 
      { 
      p=val.indexOf('@'); 
      if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a valid email address.\n'; 
      } 
     else if (test!='R') 
      { 
      num = parseFloat(val); 
      if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n'; 
      if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) 
       { 
       p=test.indexOf(':'); 
       min=test.substring(8,p); 
       max=test.substring(p+1); 
       if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n'; 
       } 
      } 
     } 
    else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; 
    } 
   } if (errors) alert('The following errors must be corrected:\n'+errors); 
   document.MM_returnValue = (errors == ''); 
  } 
 }

Hmm, instead:

val = document.getElementById (args [i]);

I would put this instead:

document.formula val = [args [i]]

This is not what will solve my problem?

Bah, make getElementById on elements that have no ID, do not be surprised if it only works on IE ...

Thank you very much, now it works very well
