Just do it this way
<form onSubmit="checkAddress()">
Email:
<input type="email" id="email"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
<script>
let em=document.getElementById("email");
function checkAddress(){
if(em.value === ""){
alert("Email address is required");
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
sololearn places script tag in head ,that might be causing the problem
Also i never tried passing global id as a parameter to a function ,maybe you can't just do it that way

checkaddress vs checkadress.. thats the issue...

There is a "." After getElementById ,remove it and also there is no id like "fieldid "
Edit: sorry didn't noticed there is email id which is passed to function

This works as well ,you can pass id as a parameter ,the only problem was not passing it as a string but as a variable lol!
<body>
<form onSubmit="checkAddress('email')">
Email:
<input type="email" id="email"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
<script>
function checkAddress(email){
if ( document.getElementById(email).value === ""){
alert("Email address is required");
}
}
</script>
</body>

Abhay I don't know a lot about web dev, this is out of curiosity, isn't fieldId just the variable name that's holding the passed value "email"? Or is that just code etiquette

KWASI NYARKO your JS for checkAddress is missing a d

KWASI NYARKO One of the main reasons for your code not working was that your HTML form onSubmit event trigger called checkAddress(), but in the JS the function was mis-spelled checkAdress() - only one 'd'. Then fix for script running before HTML elements are loaded. I prefer to keep my JS in its own tab, rather than on the HTML which is why I'm showing you this solution.
JS:
let em;
function checkAddress(){
if (em.value === ""){
alert("Email address is required");
}
}
window.onload = function() {em = document.getElementById("email")};

I'm not on here for follows, just answering questions. Don't think you can learn much from me; most of the stuff I know is OOP programming. And I only go on here to check recent questions, if you really want me to then sure. But it'll be superficial

You have a name a function wrong
In html it is check address
And in jscripr it is adress

Why not just use the simple HTML attribute "required"
That's the commonest method

And the spelling of your "checkAddress" was also wrong in the JS code
