function validateForm (){
	/*
	
	Current supported types of Questions:
	
	text 		-> 	text Fields
	number		->  text Fields - only numbers
	dropDown 	->  a single select
	definition 	-> 	a series of selects
	multiple 	-> 	a series of check boxs
	radio 		-> 	a series of radio buttons
	generalText ->  text fields - no character validation
	email 		-> checks for one @ and atleast one .
	
	Example of how function is called:
	validateForm('form Name', 'form item feedback', 'form item name', 'form item type');
	validateForm('completionForm','Question 1','Q1','radio','Question 2','Q2','dropDown','Question 3','Q3','definition','Question 4','Q4','multiple');
	
	Form item feedback represents how you want that question to be called to the user.
	For example, a form item may have a name of 'firstName' but to the user it will be called
	'First Name'  ex-  'First Name', 'firstName', 'text'
	
	Also, all questions have a form reference starting with Q, then the number.  
	Ex:  Q3   for question 3
