You've got all kinds of weird stuff going on there. Functions should have parentheses and brackets rather than semi-colons. Additionally, you've got no way of specifying which pieces of text within the form to bold. Maybe if you'd send a better description of what you want to happen (maybe a link to the page containing the form), somebody can provide some help.
