In the form tag there is a field onsubmit to specify your validation function. Something like that:

<form name="myForm" onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post">
    <!-- your inputs -->

</form>

Answer 2

You should use event.preventDefault(); in your if statement when you check for errors.

I you are clicking a submit button, first check all the fields, if something fails in your validation, raise event.preventDefault(). With this, this will prevent the form to submit.

If there are no errors, the preventDefault will not be raised and the form will be submitted.
