As far as why the form submits...it shouldn't matter whether or not you have ASP or CF (or PHP or JSP etc) on the back end. JS is all client side. It's submitting because there's an error somewhere in the JS (if you're using IE, look at the bottom left corner as you hit submit, and you should see a yellow error icon).
The only thing I might suggest in looking at the code you posted is to remove the parentheses from your return statements.
eg do: return false and return true instead of return (false) and return (true).

Change the name of the form to "theform". Also, try to get into the habit of
using the proper hierarchy -
"window.document.formname.fieldname.value" for netscape compatibility.
