Can't say I follow what you're doing - but, anyway, your validator:

if ((rec==null) && (item==null))

The JS null value is a specific type, and you won't find it here (in a empty form field) - what you're testing for is the null (empty) string:

if ((rec=='') || (item==''))

Notice the use of the OR operator, evaluating to true if either field is empty. Save yourself some typing:

if (!rec || !item)

hth, adios

and this:

var rec=document.me.recipient.value;
var item=document.me2.item2.value;
var trick1=""+rec+" has giving you "+item+".";
var trick2=""+rec+" has giving you "+item+".";
var item=document.me2.item2.value;

should only be:

var rec=document.me.recipient.value;
var item=document.me2.item2.value;
var trick1=rec+" has giving you "+item+".";
var trick2=rec+" has giving you "+item+".";

but i don't see you use trick1 and trick2 anywhere.
