Answer 1

Use <form action="reg.jsp" method="POST"> and call validate() function onsubmit of your form.Return true if form is valid else return false.Returning false from validate() will prevent your form from being submitted.

<form action="reg.jsp" method="POST" onsubmit="return validate()">
    ...
    ...        
    <input type="submit" value="Submit"> 
</form>
