I have used several custom fields in my web to lead form ,and wanna add validation rules to my html form as well.How to achieve such validations.So far,what I 've tried using javascript is enclosed below.But this code is not working as expected,it is not showing any alerts or so.

<body>
    <form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST" onsubmit="return ValidateForm()">
        <input type=hidden name="oid" value="00Dm00000008iPU"/>
        <input type=hidden name="retURL" value="http://www.google.com"/>

Fields that I wanna make required:

<table width="100%" border="0">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td width="24%" align="right">
                MerchantID:
            </td>
            <td width="1%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="25%">
                <input  id="00Nm0000001ABCv" maxlength="20" name="00Nm0000001ABCv" size="20" type="text" />
            </td>
            <td width="24%" align="right">
                Sales Office Name:
            </td>
            <td width="2%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="24%">
                <input  id="00Nm0000001ABDA" maxlength="50" name="00Nm0000001ABDA" size="20" type="text" />
            </td>
        </tr>

My Validation javascript :

<script type='text/javascript'>
    function ValidateForm() {
        var helperMsg = '';

        if (document.getElementById("00Nm0000001ABCv").value.length == 0) {
            helperMsg += "Please enter Merchant ID \n\r";
        }
        if (helperMsg.length > 0) {
            alert(helperMsg);
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
</script>

Please help me out in this.
