Forms sending some blank emails

[lstanikmas]

Hi, I'm validating a form with this ASP but receiving some blank email
responses; does anyone see anything wrong with it?:

function isFormVarExcluded(thisForm, strToCheck)
{
var strExcludeVars = thisForm.elements["$excludevars"].value;
var arrExcludeVars = strExcludeVars.split(",");
for (var j=0; j<arrExcludeVars.length; j++)
{
if (arrExcludeVars[j] == strToCheck) return true;
}
return false;
}

function getFormVars(thisForm)
{
var oFormVars = thisForm.elements["$formvars"];
var strPrevVal = "";
oFormVars.value = "";
for (var x=0,objElem=null; objElem=thisForm.elements.item(x); x++)
{
if (!isFormVarExcluded(thisForm, objElem.name))
{
if (objElem.name != strPrevVal)
oFormVars.value += objElem.name + ",";
}
strPrevVal = objElem.name;
}
oFormVars.value = oFormVars.value.substr(0,oFormVars.value.length-1);
}

I may as well ask the obvious; is this script on the server or the client?

There isn't anything in your supplied code relating directly to the sending
of e-mails (nor for that matter relating explicitly to server-side code).

How are you sending them? Have you tested for existence of content in the
relevant string(s) immediately prior to sending?

This is on the server. I didn't create it but it looks like a
validator script. The emails I receive (form responses) sometimes have
only []: in the body but some come in filled out properly (contact
info, product interest, etc.). There's also a validator in the HTML
form page:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
if (document.getElementById){
var
i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2];
val=document.getElementById(args);
if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain
an e-mail address.\n';
} else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a
number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
} } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is
required.\n'; }
} if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
} }
//-->
</script>

Then there's this in the form tag:

<form action="../../scripts/handleInfoRequest.asp" method="post"
name="info_request"
onSubmit="getFormVars(document.info_request);MM_validateForm('name','','R','phone','','R','email','','RisEmail','state','','R');return
document.MM_returnValue">

which refers to this on the server:

Someone said it's a SPAM problem, but IT says there's no indication of
a SPAM problem in the headers of the blank emails.

Thanks much
