When posting here please help us to help you by following the posting guidelines and wrapping your code in CODE tags. This means use the octothorpe or # button on the toolbar. You can (and should) edit your previous post.

Form validation of the pattern if (document.formname.formfield.value == "") - that is blank - is barely worthy of the name, and virtually useless, as even a single space, an X or a ? will return false, that is pass the validation. A proper name may only contain letters, hyphen, space and apostrophe.
Numeric values, such as zip codes and phone numbers, should be validated as such. Ditto email addresses. This topic has been covered many times before in this forum.

function submit(){

You should avoid giving names or id's to your variables/functions/arguments/forms words which are HTML/JavaScript methods/properties/attributes such as 'name' or 'id' or 'value' or 'test' or 'text' or 'checked' or 'click' or 'href' or 'closed' or 'go' or 'submit' or 'replace' or 'button' or 'radio' or 'parseInt'.

Instead of repeating ad nauseam document.forms[0] just create a new variable
var f = document.forms[0];


Why does it not work? Hint - look for missing closing braces.


All advice is supplied packaged by intellectual weight, and not by volume. Contents may settle slightly in transit.
