Problem using JS to validate entry on client-side form (HTML)
Question
I'm having trouble running validation for the following form.
Each input is supposed to show:
a) a red border and a red exclamation circle(appears after input) for incorrect entry.
b) or set a green border and green check circle (appears after input) if it is a correct input.
Can anyone help/spot what I am doing wrong?
Thanks all

You have spaces in each of your ID attributes, eg:
id="companyPosition "
Try removing those and see if it works then.
