Form submits instead of displaying error when button is clicked

I have made a form as index.html. I have a from validation using JavaScript. When the submit button is clicked it must open another html page(detail.html). When I supply wrong data, it must prevent the opening of detail.html page and display the error messages but neither of them happens .enter image description here

here is the code

<form action="/detail" method="POST" role="form" name="index" onsubmit="return validateForm()" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
    <label for="name">Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter your name" required/>
    <span class="formerror"></span>
    <br />
    <label for="phone_number">Mobile:</label>
    <input type="number" name="phone_number" placeholder="enter your mobile number" required >
    <span class="formerror"></span>
    <br/>
    <label for="password">Password:</label>
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="enter your password" required  />
    <span class="formerror"></span>
    <br />
    <button id="btnsubmit" class="btn" onclick="submit">Submit</button>

code for form validation

<script>
    function clearErrors(){
        errors=document.getElementsByClassname('formerror');
        for(let item of errors){
            item.innerHTML="";
        }
    }
    function seterror(id,error){
        //sets error inside tag of id
        element=document.getElementById(id);
        element.getElementsByClassName('formerror')[0].innerHTML=error;
    }
    function validateForm(){
        var returnval = true;
        //performs validation and if validation fails, set the value of returnval to false.
        var name = document.forms['index']["name"].value;
        if(name.length<3)
        {
            seterror("name","length of name of too short");
            returnval=false;
        }
        var phone_number = document.forms['index']["phone_number"].value;
        if(phone_number.length!=10)
        {
            seterror("phone_number","phone number should be of 10 digits");
            returnval=false;
        }
        var password = document.forms['index']["password"].value;
        if(password.length<4)
        {
            seterror("password","password should be at least of 4 characters");
            returnval=false;
        }
        return returnval;
    }
</script>

I wanted the index.html to display the error messages when wrong data is fed to the input fields, but nothing of those happens instead detail.html page opens. detail.html must only open when correct input is given.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
