Are there any errors that returned? Usually it's a JS error the
cripples the code and makes it submit regardless.
What happens if validate_form() only contains "return false"? Does it
not submit?
You should probably remove the "return false" on the onsubmit handler
or else it'll never submit since you don't have anything in your JS to
tell it to submit (eg. form.submit()).
