Javascript form validation works in I.e., not safari or firefox

Asked by MulyCat in Safari Web Browser, JavaScript, Programming for ASP.NET

I have an asp.net application where I use a javascript file to validate the form entries (basic bill to ship to info). The .js file utilizes the class object for its tpe validation. I have created clientid's in my code and I create an array of required fields and a companion text map to populate an alert message string. All works well in I.E. In Safari the code stops working once I define the arrays. I am quite stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Code attached, sorry my own comments were not edited out - Please be kind!! This is my bosses account, so please do not hold it against him..

Thanks :)Start Free Trial
