you must link your submit-button with your "check"-function (testform())

mind explaining how?

I'm not really familiar with your language, but I can see that you didn't use your function (above) in the source from the onClick-event (button) (could also be the formaction thingy)

in function testform, add:

Code:

else self.location='mailto:SonicDX_Adventure@Hotmail.com';

at the bottom:

Code:

there is an error, you open with a form and close with a script tag:

Code:

<form action=mailto:Sonicdx_adventure@hotmail.com method="Email" name="form"></script>

All inputs should be put in form. The code above should be put at the top where starts the first form

The send button should be input type submit (if you want to send the data to other page, otherwise you don't need form tag)

forms[0] and elements[0] can be replaced by their name or id to easier to keep track:

Code:

document.form.Name.value==""
