If the validate function isn't doing much except working on specific objects
(document.tester.mytext.value), then there isn't much point in moving it to
its own function imo.

To be more jQuery like (and cut down on code), it may be better to do this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#sendmail").click(validate);
});
function validate() {
$tester = $("#tester");
if ( $tester.find("#mytext").val() == "" ) {
alert ('Your have not provided a mytext');
return false;
} else {
$("#op").val("Send");
return true;
}
}
If $("#op").val("Send") does not work, you can always do $("#op")[0].value = "Send"
This is assuming you have <input type="submit" id="sendmail" value="send email"> within the form (rather than <button>).
