title: Prevent form submit but retain form validation
body: <p>How do I retain the default HTML form validation and yet prohibit form submitting? I have tried using <code>event.preventDefault()</code> and <code>return false</code>. Both are successful in stopping the form from submitting but both fail in form validation. I have also tried <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/16069817/1942656">this solution</a>, but even that does not work.</p>
  
  <p>Is anybody able to help me?</p>
