I have modified only 'form_submit_handler' method. Replace your existing method with the modified one and check if it solves ur purpose.

function form_submit_handler(){
errMsg = "";
var retVal = true;
var firstFrmValidateFailedObj;

for(var itr=0;itr < this.elements.length;itr++)
{
if(this.elements[itr].validationset && !this.elements[itr].validationset.validate())
{
retVal = false;
if(typeof(firstFrmValidateFailedObj) == "undefined"){

           firstFrmValidateFailedObj = this.elements[itr];
     }
}
}

if(errMsg>""){
      alert("Please correct these errors:"+errMsg);
      if(typeof(firstFrmValidateFailedObj) != "undefined"){
            if(firstFrmValidateFailedObj.type == "text" || firstFrmValidateFailedObj.type == "textarea"){
                  firstFrmValidateFailedObj.select();
            }
     firstFrmValidateFailedObj.focus();
}
return false;
}

if(retVal && this.addnlvalidation){
str =" var ret = "+this.addnlvalidation+"()";
eval(str);
       if(retVal && !ret) return ret;
}
return retVal;
}

These functions are changed slightly and may have slighly different functions than you want. Usage is follows:

You can have those functions in an external js or on your page. On your page, also have this in the <head>:

<script language="javascript">

</script>

where you set the validations as such separated by comma.

Finally, in your form tag, have this:

<form name="myform" onsubmit="return(Validator('myform'));">
