Client-side form validation fails

Question

Hi guys,
Below is a very simple form with some client side validation.
on submission it takes me to the results page with out popping an
error. I checked it in both IE and Firefox. I checked the source
after displaying the page and there are javascript elements built.
I am testing this on my local box, with coldfusion mx 7 on
apache.
Is there anything special I have to do with the server
settings, or browser settings or there something else.
Thanks,
Frank

Odd, indeed. The validation Javascript works on my PC,
showing an alert. I only replaced your query with mine. There might
be something wrong with your installation of the Coldfusion system
folder, /CFIDE/scripts/.
