I am trying to do a form validation function with ajax submission. For some reason the validation doesn't work and when it submits, my server gets the empty fields (when I am testing for the validation) but it shows that it tried to post to the same page... I don't know why.

Form:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.0-beta2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-BmbxuPwQa2lc/FVzBcNJ7UAyJxM6wuqIj61tLrc4wSX0szH/Ev+nYRRuWlolflfl" crossorigin="anonymous">

      </div>
    </div>

      <div class="form-floating mb-3">

        </select>
        <label for="why">Reason For Contacting<span class='red' aria-label='required'> *</span></label>

    <div class='col p-1'>
      <button class='form-control btn btn-outline-primary' id='submit'>Send</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

My JS File:

$(document).ready(() => {
  autosize($('textarea'))
  $('#submit').click((e) => {
    if (validate() == true) {
      sendForm();
    } else {

var errors;
window.onerror = function(msg, url, linenumber) {

  return true;
}

function validate() {
  elements = $(':input')
  elements.each((element) => {
    element = $(element).get()
    if (element.value === '' || !email(element)) {
      errors += element.name + " is invalid."
    } else {
      return;
    }
  })
  if (errors) {
    return errors
  } else true;
}

function sendForm() {
  name = $('input[name="First Name"]').val().trim() + " " + $('input[name="Last Name"]').val().trim()
  email = $('input[name="Email"]').val().trim()
  why = $("select").val().trim()
  comments = $('textarea').val().trim()
  data = {
    "name": name,
    "email": email,
    "reason": why,
    "text": comments
  }
  $.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'https://admin.bekesbikes.tk/contact',
    crossDomain: true,
    data: data,

        speed: 1000,
        autoclose: true
      })
      $(':input').val('');
      $('select').val('Feedback')
    },
    error: (responseData, textStatus, errorThrown) => {
      new Notify({

function error(text) {

    status: 'info',
    speed: 1000,
    autoclose: true
  })
}

function send() {

    return true;
  } else {
    return false;
  }

Where I go when I submit (the form is at this URL): Where I go when I submit (the form is at this URL):

Any Idea what I should do?

Note I am using node.js with express.js.

EDIT

I added: e.preventDefault() to my submit event handler but now when I submit the form without filling in anything, I get this notification: enter image description here

I changed your click handler:

  • default prevention,
  • validate() as variable so that it runs only once,

the errors declaration

  • empty string instead of undefined,

your validate() function

  • excluded button using :not(),
  • changed arrow function to ordinary anonymous function,
  • used this instead of element, which was only an index,
  • added a return to the last else,

and your email() function

  • sourced the email validation out to an own function.

I also deleted send(), as it was not used, declared the variables in sendForm() with var and added many semicolons -> maybe in your code one is already missing and you are hoping that the js error correction will add them automatically...

Finally i added the param showIcon to your Notify objects (that was the 'undefined' part ;)

$(document).ready(() => {

  autosize($('textarea'))
    
    $('#form').submit((e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        var validated = validate();
        if (validated == true) {
            sendForm();
        } else error(validated);
    });
    
    var errors = '';

    window.onerror = function(msg, url, linenumber) {
        alert('Error message: ' + msg + '\nURL: ' + url + '\nLine Number: ' + linenumber);
        return true;
    }

    function validate() {
        elements = $(':input:not(button)');
        elements.each(function() {
            if (this.value === '' || !email(this)) {
                errors += this.name + " is invalid.";
            } else return;
        });
        if (errors) {
            return errors;
        } else return true;
    }

    function sendForm() {
        var name = $('input[name="First Name"]').val().trim() + " " + $('input[name="Last Name"]').val().trim();
        var email = $('input[name="Email"]').val().trim();
        var why = $("select").val().trim();
        var comments = $('textarea').val().trim();
        var data = {
            "name": name,
            "email": email,
            "reason": why,
