javascript won't work with FireFox

[Igal]

hay. i'm working on some site, the code is pretty old, it has some form
validation JS scripts. but seems like they work only in IE, won't work
with FireFox. here's a example:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function check1(){
if (form1.name.value==""){
alert("type your name");
form1.name.focus();
return false;
}
if (form1.mail.value.indexOf("@")==-1){
alert("wrong e-mail");
form1.mail.focus();
return false;
}
if (form1.mail.value.indexOf(".")==-1){
alert("wrong e-mail");
form1.mail.focus();
return false;
}
form1.session_exp.value= "qqq" + form1.name.value + "qqq" +
form1.mail.value + "qqq"
}
//-->
</script>

....<form action="../SendCv/SendCv2.asp" method="post" name="form1"
onsubmit="return check1()">...

what can be wrong with it?

You can't use (or it is preferable you don't use)
'name' to name an input

Then : what is 'form1' in your function ?
use at least : document.form1

And ... elements of your form have they a name ?
(an id is not a name !)
