    The problem is in the html form tag, in the onsubmit attribute it should be like this :

    onsubmit="return(validateEmail() && validate());"

    You are returning false in the validate() function before checking for the email validation. As a result, the form submission is prevented even if the email is correct.

    So, you need to change the return false; statement in the validate() function to return true; after all the validation checks have passed successfully.
