Because when you submit the form, the submit event triggers again and so the event handler. You need to unbind the submit event handler when user says OK. Try this

$("#myform").submit(function (event) {
    if (something) {
        var $dialog = $('
').dialog({
            buttons: {
                "OK": function () {
                    $dialog.dialog('close');
                    //Check this line - unbinding the submit event handler
                    $("#myform").unbind('submit').submit();
                    return;
                },
                Cancel: function () {
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            }
        });
        $dialog.dialog('open');
        event.preventDefault();
        return false;
    } else {
        $("#myform").submit();
    }
});
