You just need to add an alert to the end of the last function, replace the validate_form function with the following code:

function validate_form(thisform) {
	with (thisform) {
		if (validate_required(name,"Please specify your name!")==false) {
			name.focus();
			return false;
		}
		if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false) {
			email.focus();
			return false;
		}
		if (validate_email(email,"Not a valid e-mail address!")==false) {
			email.focus();
			return false;
		}
		if (validate_required(color,"Forgot favorite color!")==false) {
			color.focus();
			return false;
		}
		alert('You have successfully sent your query!');
	}
}

This is a handy script. I chose this one because it doesn’t dump pages of code in the header.

However, it doesn’t extend to validating radio buttons or drop-down lists, which would be a handy addition.
