hi there

I am validating a form with js. :

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function verify( f ) {
  var msg;
  var empty_fields = "";
  
  var k = f.elements['2d_email'];
  if( k.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "You did not enter your E-mailadress!\n"
  }
  
  var l = f.elements['2a_volnaam'];
  if( l.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill in your full name!\n"
  }
  
    var m = f.elements['2b_ofnaam'];
  if( m.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill your official name!\n"
  }
  
     var o = f.elements['2d_straat'];
  if( o.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill in a streetname!\n"
  }
    
     var p = f.elements['2d_stad'];
  if( p.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill in a city!\n"
  }
    
     var q = f.elements['2d_land'];
  if( q.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill in a country!\n"
  }
    
     var r = f.elements['2d_postcode'];
  if( r.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill in a postalcode!\n"
  }
    
     var s = f.elements['2d_telefoon'];
  if( s.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill in a telephone number!\n"
  }
  
       var t = f.elements['4a_NFP'];
  if( t.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill if you have had a NFP fellowship\n"
  }

         var u = f.elements['4b_NFP'];
  if( u.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill if you have had a NFP fellowship\n"
  }

         var v = f.elements['4c_NFP'];
  if( v.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill if you have had a NFP fellowship\n"
  }
  
  if( !empty_fields ) return true;
  
  if( empty_fields ) {
    msg = empty_fields;
  }
  
  alert( msg );
  return false;
}
</script>

however, the radiobuttons

Code:

<p><strong>NFP Fellowship<br>
                        <input name="4b_NFP" type="radio" value="yes">
  Yes<br>
  <input name="4b_NFP" type="radio" value="no">
  No </strong></p>

don't want to be in the error message.

Code:

      var t = f.elements['4a_NFP'];
  if( t.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill if you have had a NFP fellowship\n"
  }

         var u = f.elements['4b_NFP'];
  if( u.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill if you have had a NFP fellowship\n"
  }

         var v = f.elements['4c_NFP'];
  if( v.value == "" ) {
    empty_fields += "Please fill if you have had a NFP fellowship\n"
  }

Why is that? I'm not a scripting guru, i just copy and paste a bit here and there until it works.

Any ideads?
