In your onsubmit attribute, you should just use return checkPriceValidation(). Try out the code below and see the difference

function submitThis(){
  alert('Hi there');
  return false;
}

<form onsubmit="return javascript:submitThis()">
  <button>This form will be submitted</button>
</form>

<form onsubmit="return submitThis()">
  <button>This form will not be submitted</button>
</form>

Your code is slightly contradictory to your statement. I assume you meant for the button text to be the other way around. Otherwise that works great for me
