Your JS looks decidedly incorrect. You say the aim is to prevent the form being submitted in certain scenarios, yet your form submit handler neither returns true nor false. You return truthiness from your anonymous AJAX handler, but that is not the same.
Secondly, your check to see whether to submit the form uses AJAX. The first A is important there, the communication happens asynchronously. This sequence of events occurs: Form submit handler called Form submit handler creates an AJAX request AJAX request is submitted to the server Form submit handler completes with no return value Browser prepares to submit the form Browser closes any open network connections the page has Server attempts to write to closed socket, generating quoted exception Browser submits form to server You need to make your jquery AJAX call synchronous, and return true/false from the appropriate location. "jquery synchronous ajax" should give you all the information you need.
