Would help to see the code in question.
Normally, your <form> tag would call the JS validation in the onsubmit
method. Something like:
<form id="myForm" onsubmit="return validateFields( this );">
Then your JS would look something like:
function validateFields( oForm ) {
(validate stuff here)
if ( form did not pass validation ) {
return false;
}
}
The "return false" is key there. Since the onsubmit in the form tag is
going to return true or false, if the JS function returns false, the form
will not submit.
