JavaScript not validating form

Question

For some reason my JavaScript won't validate my forms and I cannot work out why. I've followed examples from many sites like Tizag & W3C, but to no avail.

HTML form:

<form class='login' name='login' onsubmit='return loginValidation();' method='post' action='index.php'>
    <p>
       <input class='login' type='text' name='nameentry'/><br/>
       <input class='login' type='submit' value='Login'/>
    </p>

</form>

JavaScript function:

    function loginValidation(){
    var x=document.form.login.nameentry.value;
    if(x==null || x==""){
        alert("Enter a name");
        return false;
    }
}

My code can be seen in action here [an assignment]. Any ideas?

You have an unclosed function (or for block) which is killing the engine:

function testAllQuantity(){
    for(i=0;i<150,i++){
      quantityValidation(document.getElementById(i));
    }

And the for statement is misformed, , -> ;

for(i=0;i<150;i++){

Those validation functions were works in progress, never considered that they could be the problem as I assumed it would only use the one in question, thanks!

Cheers for the advice with that loop too :)

Second line in function should be

var x=document.forms.login.nameentry.value;
