I have been making a javascript form validator to provide live form validation. If there is an error it should stop the submission but it doesn't. I have tried returning false and using preventDefault() but it still doesn't prevent submission. I have tried to find the answer else where but I can't, so can any of you help me out.

The form is on http://swanleyhypnotherapist.co.uk/contact.html.

Thanks in advance.

Simple mistake.

Replace:

<form name="contact" action="/" onsubmit="check();">

With:

<form name="contact" action="/" onsubmit="return check();">

Thanks. I changed it but it still doesn't work. What else have I done wrong.
Okay, have you updated it in the website? Can I check it live?
@user2001154 Give return false; before event.preventDefault(); or remove event.preventDefault(); for now and check. Also, remove the evt parameter.
Sorry. I was busy so I have only just checked it. It does appear to work. I didn't at first add preventDefault() but I tried it when it wasn't working. The problem must have been leaving out return in the onsubmit attribute and when I corrected it the preventDefault I had added was the problem. Thanks for your help guys.
