What do you mean by "transfers control back to the form"?  A form doesn't
have any code, and so can't "control" anything.

Now, it is certainly possible to define an onSubmit handler in the <form>
header, then write a Javascript function that validates the input.  If the
function returns false, the submit won't happen.
