Why isn't my form validation function working?

I'm new to this, so please bear with me. I'm trying to setup a simple form validation that connects to my email client (Drip). It's not sophisticated, like I said, I'm learning and want to do so from the ground up (which is why all the CSS and whatnot isn't in a separate file). This whole thing is a learning exercise.
The connection to my email client works fine, but the problem is the form submits even if all the fields are empty. I don't know if it's ignoring the script, or it's running and just not working, or...
I don't know. I'm missing something, but like I said, I'm learning, so I can't see it for love or money!
Is anyone able to point out what I've done wrong here? :-)
<script>
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["fields[first_name]"].value;
var y = document.forms["myForm"]["fields[email]"].value;
var z = document.forms["myForm"]["fields[phone]"].value;
var checkBox1 = document.getElementById("tcpp");
var checkBox2 = document.getElementById("contactConsent");
if (x == "") {
alert("Name must be filled out");
return false;
}
if (y == "") {

You can keep the name attributes as they are. The problem was within your document.forms[...] expression. It did not find the expected input elements. As these are given id attributes too it seemed an easy fix to use them as a way of identifying the elements by using document.getElementById(...):
function validateForm() {
var x = document.getElementById("drip-full-name").value;
var y = document.getElementById("drip-email").value;
var z = document.getElementById("drip-phone").value;
var checkBox1 = document.getElementById("tcpp");
var checkBox2 = document.getElementById("contactConsent");
if (x == "") {
alert("Name must be filled out");
return false;
}
if (y == "") {
alert("Email must be filled out");
return false;
}
if (z == "") {
alert("Phone must be filled out");
return false;
}
if (checkBox1.checked == false) {
alert("Privacy Policy box must be ticked");
return false;
}
if (checkBox2.checked == false) {
alert("Consent box must be ticked");
return false;
}
}

How can I make the check sign appear after the input element in the same line?

I wrote a simple sign up webpage, and want to confirm password and check email address format, and show a check or cross sign after the input elements in the same line.
Before I added Bootstrap to my html file, the check or cross sign appear after the input elements in the same line. But after I added Bootstrap to my html file (especially after adding class="form-control"), the check or cross signs appear in the next line instead.
I wonder how to solve my problem? Thanks.

Here is my javascript
function arePasswordsSame() {
input = this; // document.getElementById("passwordConfirm");
if (input.value != document.getElementById("password").value) {
input.setCustomValidity("Password Must be Matching.");
document.getElementById("passwordConfirmResult").innerHTML = "×";
} else {
input.setCustomValidity("");
document.getElementById("passwordConfirmResult").innerHTML = "✔";
}
}
document.getElementById("passwordConfirm").addEventListener("change",arePasswordsSame);
function validateEmail(){
input = this; // document.getElementById("email");
var mailformat = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*#\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/;
if(! input.value.match(mailformat)){
input.setCustomValidity("Email is invalid.");
document.getElementById("emailResult").innerHTML = "×";
}else{
input.setCustomValidity("");
document.getElementById("emailResult").innerHTML = "✔";
}
}
document.getElementById("email").addEventListener("change",validateEmail);

You can use the built in input-group-addon that ships with bootstrap
<div class="input-group">
<div class="col-lg-5">
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" id="password" placeholder="Password" style="border-color: grey; background-color: white">
<span width="5" class="input-group-addon" name="passwordResult" id="passwordResult"></span>
</div>
</div>
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/input-group/
EDIT
This should be the markup;
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-5">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" id="password" placeholder="Password" style="border-color: grey; background-color: white">
<span class="input-group-addon" name="passwordResult" id="passwordResult"> </span>
</div>
</div>
</div>

In Bootstrap, the form-control class causes the inputs to be display:block; at 100% width. You will have to override the default styling to prevent this(note that you can remove the !important rule as long as you add this CSS after Bootstrap is loaded):
function arePasswordsSame() {
input = this; // document.getElementById("passwordConfirm");
if (input.value != document.getElementById("password").value) {
input.setCustomValidity("Password Must be Matching.");
document.getElementById("passwordConfirmResult").innerHTML = "×";
} else {
input.setCustomValidity("");
document.getElementById("passwordConfirmResult").innerHTML = "✔";
}
}
document.getElementById("passwordConfirm").addEventListener("change",arePasswordsSame);
function validateEmail(){
input = this; // document.getElementById("email");
var mailformat = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*#\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/;
if(! input.value.match(mailformat)){
input.setCustomValidity("Email is invalid.");
document.getElementById("emailResult").innerHTML = "×";
}else{
input.setCustomValidity("");
document.getElementById("emailResult").innerHTML = "✔";
}
}
document.getElementById("email").addEventListener("change",validateEmail);
.form-control {
display:inline-block!important;
width:95%!important;
}

Javascript search box not appearing in Domtab

Here's my website: http://library.bennington.edu. We use domtabs to organize our search boxes. We're switching cataloging software, so I'm trying to replace the catalog search box with a new search box from Ebsco Discovery Services (EDS). EDS provides their own code, so I didn't have to write anything, should just be cut and paste. But when I drop the new code in, nothing appears at all, just a total blank space. If I place the code BELOW the domtabs box, it works fine. It just blanks when placed within the domtabs box, as if there's some conflict. Here's the relevant DomTab code section:
<div class="domtab">
<ul class="domtabs">
<li><a style="border-top-left-radius:9px" href="#catalog">Catalog</a></li>
<li>Journals</li>
<li>Databases</li>
<li>Reserves</li>
<li>Reference</li>
<li><a style="border-top-right-radius:9px" href="#archive">Archive</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
<h2><a name="#catalog" id="catalog"></a></h2>
<table width="425px">

var name = "iiiFormHandle_1";
if (document.getElementById)
obj = document.getElementById(name);
else if (document.all)
obj = document.all[name];
else if (document.layers)
obj = document.layers[name];
obj.form.submit();
}
</script>
<input type="hidden" id="iiiFormHandle_1"/>
<a href=# onclick="iiiDoSubmit_1();">

I've moved the javascript call to the top of the page, and moved the CSS to my CSS page to thin out the code, but still just getting the domtab box with normal background color as if nothing is there. :-/

Stuck with Form and JS call

I've been writing a code generator where I can fill variables in a form, press generate and call a code into a text field.Have done this before, but for some reason I can't seem to get it to work this time. I am going nuts!
In this example, i've been trying to call the value of the first form field "issue"
Here is a link to an online page and here is the code I used in the page:

DidyouknowContent
DidyouknowConent = document.inputForm.DidyouknowConent.value; // DidyouknowConent

i try'ed your code in firebug it shows like this
TypeError: document.inputForm.DidyouknowConent is undefined

<input type="button">
try this
<input type="submit">

Ok, I this it would be smart of you to use jquery and do it yourself. It's not that hard at all and the JS code is very short and easy.
First, you need to style the contact form and the menu so it looks the same way as it does when the contact form is expanded. I'm guessing you can actually use the code you already have. But I understand your biggest problem is with the javascript code.
Make sure that the anchor tag has the id: id="contact_button" and that the form is wrapped within a div with the id="contact-form"
So the HTML needs to be something like:
<ul>
<li>Menu 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>Menuitem 3</li>
<li><a id="contact-button" href="/contact-form">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="contact-form">
<form action="#" method="post">
...
</form>
</div>
Then, to make the contact form show, you need to put jquery on your html page somewhere and you need to place the following code within another .js file or within tags:
$(document).ready(function(){
/* make sure the contact form is hidden when the page loads: */
$('div#contact-form').hide();
$('a#contact-button').toggle(function(){
/* slides the contact form down and shows it */
$('div#contact-form').slideDown();
}, function () {
/* hides it again */
$('div#contact-form').slideUp();
}
}
That's it. As for the code to actually send the email using .net you can maybe follow this tutorial:
http://www.aspnettutorials.com/tutorials/email/email-aspnet2-vb.aspx

I've not tried this, so I'm not certain about it, but it's probably right:
sfHover is defined thusly:
sfHover = function() {
var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" sfhover";
}
sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
}
}
}
Take a close look at this line:
document.getElementById("nav")
It's looking for an element with an id of nav - in your "prototype HTML", you do not have an element with that id.
You don't appear to have any need for sfHover in your "prototype HTML", so you should just get rid of the entire function. If you do need it, you need to change nav into an id you actually have in your HTML (or change an id in your HTML to nav).
