Looks like you're missing a semicolon at the end of your "end if"
Here you go...
<!--// Hide from old browsers
function validatev() {
var SSN = document.entryform1.cssn.v
var LNAME = document.entryform1.lname.
If (SSN == ""){
alert ("Please enter a Social Security Number.");
document.entryform1.cssn.f
return false;
}else if (LNAME == ""){
alert ("Please enter a Last Name.");
document.entryform1.lname.
return false;
}else{
// all's good
return true;
}
//-->
That should do it...

Gah, that's what I get for switching between languages too frequently. No "end if" in Javascript. Just delete that line and you're good to go.
Here's a full example... Just copy and paste all the code into a new file, if you need to ....
<html><head>
<script language="Javascript">
<!--// Hide from old browsers
function validatev(formObj) {
var SSN = formObj.cssn.value;
var LNAME = formObj.lname.value;
if (SSN == ""){
alert ("Please enter a Social Security Number.");
formObj.cssn.focus();
return false;
}else if (LNAME == ""){
alert ("Please enter a Last Name.");
formObj.lname.focus();
return false;
}else{
// all's good now you can submit the form or do what ever
return true;
}
}
//--></script>
</head><body>
<form name="entryform1">
<input type="text" name="cssn"><br>
<input type="text" name="lname"><br>
<input type="button" name="sbutton" value="ok" onClick="validatev(documen
</form></body></html>
