I'm trying to do form validation by using javascript, however, I think there are some issues for the name field.
Whenever I enter any value for name field, it will automatically skip other validation and direct me to index.php.
Another scenario is after I filled in all except name field, it will it will automatically skip other validation and direct me to index.php.
Any help will be appreciated!

Sorry, everyone. I've found the problem. Is my careless mistake, I've accidentally typed the wrong variable at this line which causes my whole validation
!RE_NAME.test(x)
The problem solved.
