I'm no JavaScript expert, but I could maybe suggest an alternate method:
use document.getElementById() or document.getElementsByName()
AFAIK, the direct document.xyz doesn't work exactly the same way accross
browsers (if at all).
e.g. (WARNING! TOTALLY UNTESTED CODE!)
function checkInputValue(item,onError) {
if (item = document.getElementsByName(item)[0]) {
if (item.value != "") {
return(true);
}
}
alert(onError);
item.focus();
return(false);
}
function checkForm() {
elements = new Array('cc_phone_number');
errors = new Array('Please enter a phone number');
for (i=0;i<elements.length;i++) {
if (!checkInputValue(elements[i],errors[i])) {
return(false);
}
}
document.getElementsByName('inputForm')[0].submit();
}

Okay, I edited my page per some suggestions here. Below is what I now
have:
<script language="JavaScript">
function checkForm() {
// ** START **
if (inputForm.cc_phone_number.value == "") {
alert( "Please enter a phone number." );
inputForm.cc_phone_number.focus();
return;
}
******Lots of other checks here, just left out for length******
document.inputForm.submit();
}
</script>
<title></title>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../CSS/background.css">
</head>
<body>
<div align="center"> <h2></h2>
<h3>Submit a New Payment.</h3>
</div>
<form name="inputForm" action="save.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
******Lots of form data here******
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="680">
<tr>
<td width="64" align="left"><a href="javascript:checkForm()"
title="Save">Save</a></td>
<td width="616" align="left"><a href="javascript:closeThis()"
title="Close">Close</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now when I submit my page it still perfroms all of the javascript checks
correctly, but once it gets to the document.inputForm.submit(); part it
returns the following error.
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Code: 0

Of course, all of your form fields need to be inside the same
<form></form> tags as your submit button. The sample HTML you posted
did not indicate that you'd done this.
