Sorry 4 my english.

Considering inlineMsg works based off of IDs... no wonder it breaks. Every element you're checking _needs_ to have an id... pretty much the one you put in:


inlineMsg('language','Please select language.',2);


Double-check your HTML mark-up, then try again. Additionally, you might want to work with else ifs for each check, that way you won't have to deal with the message moving to the last possible field when it actually does work. Just don't forget the else at the end... like so:


else if(document.form.file.value.search(/\.(rar|zip)$/) == -1) {
inlineMsg('file','Only rar and zip file are accepted!',2);
return false;
}
else
return true;


See how that goes for you.

resolved, thank you! was from HTML
