        else
        return true;
        }
</script>
    <apex:form id="frm" onsubmit="return validate()" >

This line:

 

 if (frm.pg.fname = ""

 is likely to give an error.  Visualforce will generate ids based on the identifiers that you supply, but they won't be identical.

 

You'll need to use the $Component global variable.  Something like:

 

var ele=document.getElementById('{!$Component.frm.pg.fname}');

 and then interrogate the element.

Can you edit that last post so that the code is formatted?

Your javascript is still a little mangled. I think you want something close to:

 

<script>
     function validate()
     { 
        var ele=document.getElementById('{!$Component.frm.pg.fname}');
        alert('Ele = ' + ele);
        if (ele.value == "")
        {
           alert("Name Cannot Be blank");
           return false;
        }
        else
           return true;
     }
</script>

 Note that I've added an alert to dump out the ele once its retrieved - if that is null or undefined it means the $Component ref isn't quite right.  if you are still having problems, add other alerts in to check the value of the element etc.

problem with your javascript function.

 

function validate(){

     var ele = document.getElementById('{!$Component.fname}').value;

 

     if(ele == ""){

     alert('Name cannot be blank');

     return false;

     }

     else

     return true;

}

 

 

Hope this solves your problem..
