test commit
created first check/test for empty field
trying to see if targeting the submit button rather than the form itself will work for event handling
removed the type='submit' attribute in the submit button because of a suggestion from stack overflow
yea that didn't do shit
turns out it was the fact that i was calling the function through window.onload that was preventing it from firing.
starting over cause the logic inside the anonymous function isn't working
turns out I put the ID's on the label instead of the input tag. what a stupid mistake.
got intelligent error messages working
got character value between two numbers working
almost got the zip code working. added quick console log for the typeof for it
got number validation to work using a regular expression
