[SOLVED] need help with form validation

[Jago6060]

I am very unfamiliar with JavaScript and I need a simple function that simply checks whether a field is empty or not.  I tried this but ti didnt work. Any help would be great.

 

function nameIsBlank() {
var name=document.inquiry.name.value;
if (name != null) return true;
else alert ('Please enter your name!')
return false;
}

Have a look at http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,195676.0.html to see how I did it.

Hope that that helps.
