RE: Going Javascript crazy...

I entered this into my HTML editor and then ran it... No problems

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function check1() {
if (document.updTerms1.BEGDATE.value == "" ) {
alert("Beginning Date cannot be blank.");
return false ;
}
else if (document.updTerms1.ENDDATE.value == "" ) {
 alert("Ending Date cannot be blank."); return false ; 
 }
  else if (document.updTerms1.AMOUNT.value == "" ) {
   alert("Amount cannot be blank."); return false ; 
   } else {
    document.updTerms1.submit(); 
    }
     } //--> </script>

<form name="updTerms1" method="post" action="/members/SUPUPDTERM"> <input
type="text" name="BEGDATE" value="11/1/2002" /> <input type="text"
name="ENDDATE" value="10/30/2003" /> <input type="text" name="AMOUNT"
value="65.00" /> <input type="button" value="Update" 
onClick="check1()" />
</form>

I have several scripts generated by a RPG CGI program.  Script 1 and script
2 below were generated in the same program loop.

The problem is that Script 1 throws an error: "document.updTerms1.BEGDATE is
either null or not an object".  This occurs regardless of what is in the
field, so the browser must not be recognizing it as an object.  Script 2,
which is identical for all practical purposes, works perfectly.  I've been
over it and over it and I cannot figure out why one would work and not the
other.

Here are the scripts and the accompanying forms

SCRIPT 1:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function check1() {
if (document.updTerms1.BEGDATE.value == "" ) {
alert("Beginning Date cannot be blank.");
return false ;
}
else if (document.updTerms1.ENDDATE.value == "" ) { alert("Ending Date
cannot be blank."); return false ; } else if
(document.updTerms1.AMOUNT.value == "" ) { alert("Amount cannot be blank.");
return false ; } else { document.updTerms1.submit(); } } //--> </script>

<form name="updTerms1" method="post" action="/members/SUPUPDTERM"> <input
type="text" name="BEGDATE" value="11/1/2002" /> <input type="text"
name="ENDDATE" value="10/30/2003" /> <input type="text" name="AMOUNT"
value="65.00" /> <input type="button" value="Update" 
onClick="check1()" />
</form>


SCRIPT 2:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function check2() {
if (document.updTerms2.BEGDATE.value == "" ) {
alert("Beginning Date cannot be blank.");
return false ;
}
else if (document.updTerms2.ENDDATE.value == "" ) { alert("Ending Date
cannot be blank."); return false ; } else if
(document.updTerms2.AMOUNT.value == "" ) { alert("Amount cannot be blank.");
return false ; } else { document.updTerms2.submit(); } } //--> </script>

<form name="updTerms2" method="post" action="/members/SUPUPDTERM"> <input
type="text" name="BEGDATE" value="1/23/2003" /> <input type="text"
name="ENDDATE" value="12/31/2003" /> <input type="text" name="AMOUNT"
value="12.00" /> <input type="button" value="Update" 
onClick="check2()" />
</form>

Any Javascript experts out there who can figure out what's happening?

Thanks,

Joel
