Answer 1

You have to do a sort of 'double return', or in other words, you have to return what is returned. So, you have your html:

    skriv här...
    

Than you just have a jquery function that is called onsubmit as you see above:

function cancelSubmit() {
    return false; // return true if you want submission to carry through
}

You can put any sort of conditionals in the function above. It seems you simply want to cancel it though. Hope this helps for others that come across this answer.
