jquery inside javascript validation

Question

Sorry for asking many questions, My doubt is:

 <form id ="myform" onSubit="return validatefields()" >

all fields(for some of them I have same class, so need to validates all the elements having the same class)

function validatefields(){
   $(".someclass").each(function(index) {
   //some validation
    });
}

I am not sure if this is the valid syntax. Can anyone help me with the syntax.

Change

<form id ="myform" onSubit="return validatefields()" >

To

 <form id ="myform" onsubmit="return validatefields()" >

Case (onsubmit) is not really important, but spelling is... (#2 deleted after remark from @shad)

@Shad, indeed you are correct. I was sure I had done it without the 'return'.

That was a typing type but in actual code its onsubmit.Thanks for answering me.

you should return a value so that the form will know whether to continue or not.

 function validatefields(){
       var valid = false; //set to true if all inputs validated
       $(".someclass").each(function(index) {
           //some validation
           //if valid:
           valid = true;
        });
        return valid; //if this returns false, the script will stop, else it will submit
    }
