Thank you. 
 
I modified your example to take into account all fields that i need to validate on and I got it to set the focus in the exact field that's missing. eg. If the first field that i am validating on passes validation &amp;&nbsp;the second doesn't then the focus is set to the 2nd field. 
 
Much appreciated help and the points are yours.

Hi all, 
 
I have a small javascript function which I have placed in the JSHeader to validate one of the form field, then I am calling this from the onsubmit event. 
This works perfectly fine and i know that I can add dozens of fields to validate on the same way and it will do this with no problems. However, I was looking for a way that i can group all these validation at the end of the function, the display all that fail validation in one box on submit as oppose to 10 alerts for 10 fields and take the focus back to the first field that fail the validation. 
 
SCRIPT 
 
function validRequired() 
{ 
if (document.forms[0].productno.value == &quot;&quot;) 
{ 
alert('Please enter a value in the hose serial no field.'); 
document.forms[0].productno.focus(); 
return false; 
 
} 
} 
 
onsubmit return validRequired() 
&nbsp; 
This is a notes client that i am trying this valiation on. 
 
Thanks

Javascript form validation

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
