It's because of the "return false": that means "after running the checkemail
function, cancel the form submission".
I think you want to have your function return true or false depending on
whether the email address is OK, and take the return out of the onsubmit
handler.
Don't forget to validate the email address on the server as well, otherwise
people who turn off Javascript will be able to submit dodgy data.
Cheers
