Yo ocupo, para formulario de contacto, un javascript que saqué del ScripMaster v1.0 y me va bien con él.
Te lo copio íntegro por respeto al autor.
Validar campos del formulario (incluyendo e-mail)

<!-- Copiar dentro del tag HEAD -->
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function Validar(form)
{
if (form.Nombre.value == "")
{ alert("Por favor ingrese su nombre"); form.Nombre.focus(); return; }
if (form.Email.value == "")
{ alert("Por favor ingrese su dirección de e-mail"); form.Email.focus(); return; }
