I have not realy gone through jquery tutorial, but i think:

$('#name1')

, was ment to get an element with an id 'name1' right? It should be something like this:

 $('#name1').value;

to get the value of the form, instead of the object (element) itself.

It's an object. I'm not sure what you want to show, but you should find the property or method of that object that gives the value you're looking for. It looks like the .val() method might be what you're looking for.

<script src="../js/jquery-1.4.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function sendname ( ) {    var name1 = $("#name1");outname1 = document.getElementById("first");if (name1.val() == "") {                   $("#results").html('<img src="../image/round_error.png" alt="Error" width="31" height="30" />   Please type a first name.').show().fadeOut(6000);          }else{outname1.innerHTML = name1.val();} }</script>

all i did was add.val() at the end of my code thank you so mush with the .val() thing
