I have an under development but pretty much finished suite if JavaScript 
form validation functions. The most up to date page is at 
http://aamcf.co.uk/temp/js4.html

There is no documentation yet, but you should be able to reverse engineer 
what I have done. It handles all types of form elements, including drop 
downs (but not drop downs where you can select several choices).

As others have said, client side form validation should only be used as a 
convenience for your users, not as a substitute for server side validation.
