My guess is that your javascript has errors which prevents the submit handler from returning false. This makes it really hard for debugging... Try the following when developing: <form onsubmit="validate(this);return false;"> instead of <form onsubmit="return validate(this)"> This way when "validate" errors out, the submission will still be trapped and you can see the errors in the console.
