How to validate a form with Javascript ?

I have a simple form that I'm trying to validate with javascript. The problem that I'm having is that the form gets sent as soon as you click on the submit button. How do I prevent the form being submitted on till validation is met ?

Create a validation function that will execute when the user clicks the submit button. In that function specify that if conditions are met then submit, else show an error message.
