JavaScript - Can Anyone Decipher This Code Please

I am trying to set up a looping structure that tests to see if the user enters a value. If the textbox is null then a global variable is false otherwise a checkbox is checked and the global variable is true.

below is what i have done so far, please assist me.

var isValid = false;

window.onload = startForm;

function startForm() {


document.forms[0].firstName.focus();
document.forms[0].onsubmit = checkEntries;

alert("You have been added to the list")
}

function checkEntries() {
var menus = new Array();
var formObject = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
for (var i=0; i < formObject.length; i++){
if (formObject[i] == "myform") menus.push(formObject[i]);
if (document.forms[0].firstName.value.length==0 || document.forms[0].firstName.value.length == null){
isValid= false;
alert("Please enter a first name");
} else (document.forms[0].check0.checked=true);
isValid=true;

if (document.forms[0].lastName=="" || document.forms[0].lastName== null){
alert("Please enter a last name");
isValid = false;
} else (document.forms[0].check1.checked=true);
isValid=true;

if (document.forms[0].email=="" || document.forms[0].email== null) {
alert("Please enter a valid email");
} else
return (document.forms[0].check0.checked=true);
isValid=true;

if (document.forms[0].bDate=="" || document.forms[0].bDate== null) {
isValid=false;
alert("please make sure you enter a valid birth date.");
}
else (document.forms[0].check0.checked=true);
isValid=true;
}
}


here is the form html...

<form name="myform" >
<input type="checkbox" name="check0" class="check0" id="check0" >
First: <input type="text" name="firstName" id="firstName"> <BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="check1" class="check1" id="check1" >
Last: <input type="text" name="lastName" id="lastName" ><BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="check2" class="check2" id="check2" >
E-Mail: <input type="text" name="email" id="email"> <BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="check3" class="check3" id="check3" >
Birthday (mm/dd/yyyy): <input type="text" name="bDate" id="bDate"> <BR>
<input type="submit" value="Join our mailing List" />
</form>

I need to know/find out what type of Code Encryptor was used on this code. I want the exact code encryptor. Here's the code that has been encrypted:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write('\u003C\u0073\u0074\u0079\u006C\u0065\u0020\u0074\u0079\u0070\u0065\u003D\u0022\u0074\u0065\u0078\');</script>

if you want to see more of the code, go to http://leilockheart.me

That is not my code. Please someone help me find out what code encryptor was used for that code above! I need it for my website as well. The other code encryptor does not work for me; people can still decode it. Also, is there a way to decode that code?
Whatever that code encryptor was, it sure worked. I have googled it and I still can't find out which one that person used. Thanks!

I have asked over a week in diffrent forums, and no one seems to understand this code below :S! This code is for making a content be shown at my page with a mouseclick on a link. When you click the content will first slide down and at the same time fade in.

Does someone know how i can delete the slide down/up. I only want the content to fade in and out when i click on it. No sliding!

And i can also see a preloader function at the bottom, how can i insert a div? so i can show at my webpage that the preloader is loading.

PLEASE HELP ME !!! :<
Code:

//** Animated Collapsible DIV v2.0- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library: http://www.dynamicdrive.com.
//** May 24th, 08'- Script rewritten and updated to 2.0.
//** June 4th, 08'- Version 2.01: Bug fix to work with jquery 1.2.6 (which changed the way attr() behaves).
//** March 5th, 09'- Version 2.2, which adds the following:
			//1) ontoggle($, divobj, state) event that fires each time a DIV is expanded/collapsed, including when the page 1st loads
			//2) Ability to expand a DIV via a URL parameter string, ie: index.htm?expanddiv=jason or index.htm?expanddiv=jason,kelly

//** March 9th, 09'- Version 2.2.1: Optimized ontoggle event handler slightly.
//** July 3rd, 09'- Version 2.4, which adds the following:
			//1) You can now insert rel="expand[divid] | collapse[divid] | toggle[divid]" inside arbitrary links to act as DIV togglers
			//2) For image toggler links, you can insert the attributes "data-openimage" and "data-closedimage" to update its image based on the DIV state

I see some strange symbols like "<<" and "&" that I have never seen in Javascript.

Can anyone help me?

Following is a code snippet. Not fully functional, but a demonstration of frustration I've been working on for the last few hours. There appears to be something wrong with the switch command in the function. When the switch command commented out, you can see the "After switch" displayed in the output div. If it is not commented out, "After switch" does not show up. It's as if code processing is terminated by the switch command, perhaps an issue with the break.

Code:

<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		function ChangeElementColor(objName,ToColor,ColorType,Speed)
			{
			objId=document.getElementById(objName);
			document.getElementById("output").innerHTML="Before switch<br>";
			switch(ColorType.toUpperCase())
				{
				case "FG":
					CurColor=objId.style.color;
					break;
				case "BG":
					CurColor=objId.style.background-color;
					break;
				case "BORDER":
					CurColor=objId.style.border-color;
					break;
				}
				document.getElementById("output").innerHTML=document.getElementById("output").innerHTML+"After switch";
			}
	</script>
</head>

		Hover to change color ...
