Default why doesnt this alert() show?

Hey guys,In the middle of writing a form validation script but the final alert message i want to use isnt showing. if you lok at the code you will see the one i mean. What have i done wrong?Code:---------Untitled Documentfunction validateThis(obj){ // form fields to check var fieldRequired = Array("name", "email", "phone"); // text for alert box if field is empty var fieldDescription = Array("Your Name", "Your Email", "Your Phone Number"); // add the default text of your form var defaultText = "empty"; // The beginning of the alert dialogue if fields are empty, keep \n at the end to preserve formatting var alertMsg = "Please complete the following fields\n"; // loop through each field in fieldRequired and make an alert box to show the information for (var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++){ // alert("The " + fieldRequired[i] + "is " + obj.elements[fieldRequired[i]].value); // debugging to run through each required value if (obj.elements[fieldRequired[i]].value == "" || obj.elements[fieldRequired[i]].value == defaultText){ alert(fieldRequired[i] + " isn't set"); //debugging to check fields not set //alertMsg += "test"; } else { alert(fieldRequired[i] + " has been set"); } } alert("this alert doesnt get displayed");} Name:
