<title> Prototype Form form</title>
<!-- Put directly below any CSS which you might need -->
<!-- put either JavaScript code for validate_formName(f) or -->
<!-- in real life you might put link to external JavaScript file with that function -->
<script type="text/javascript">
/* Please read these comments carefully! */
/* This script provides the validation for the form on this page */
/* You should provide error messages from any invalid elements filled in */
/* as well as for data which doesn't make sense (e.g. Feb. 30 for a date */
/* In addition, since it may take a few passes for your users to get everything */
/* entered correctly, when a field enty is OK you need to be sure that no error */
/* message from a previous attempt is still displayed. */
/* A fairly commons approach is to have a function validate(f) which gets passed */
/* a form f. The validate( ) function will take care of printing error messages */
/* and then return a true or a false. */
/* Returning a false means that the form will not be sent on to the server b/c */
/* there are still data errors. Returning a true will trigger having the form */
/* sent to the server script specified in the form's action= attribute. */
/* For this exercise please just alert the true or false. */
/* Of course, you will need a boolean variable that keeps track of the */
/* validity of all the form elements, as you process the form. */ function validate(f) {
var okaySoFar = true;
<!-- code to validate name entry -->
<!-- code to validate legitmate birthday -->
}

<!-- code to validate selection of educational level -->
<!-- THIS PROTYPE FORM is an edited version of Prototype_v4.html edited down for an exercise-->
<!-- Updated to HTML5 on 8/2/2012 -->
<!-- While I have put a fieldset around each type of form element, you would place elements on the -->
<!-- same subject within one fieldset, mixing types as approproiate. -->
<!-- Written by on date -->
<!-- OF course your form will be well commented! -->
