if (!passwordPatterm <-- that should be an "n". Splelin conts!
"element" needs to be defined as well. I'd just replace anywhere it says "element." with "document.form1."...that's be the easiest thing.
The point I'm trying to make is that you have some Javascript errors. What you'll need to do is debug them. How you do that depends on your browser of choice, so if you let us know what that is, we can tell you where ou can find your errors.If I've helped you out in any way, please pay it forward.

It looks like "element" is defined in the onsubmit attribute of the form by passing "this" as an argument for the function. I agree with TheGAME1264 in that it's not really best practice but it should work once you change the patterm spelling error to pattern
