Even after clicking cancel the form gets submitted

Question

I am doing a form submission, and I am displaying a confirmation box asking the user that if they really want to continue. But even if the user clicks on cancel, the form is still getting submitted.

 <form onsubmit="return confirm('If you enter the incorrect number, the search will still be conducted and charge you for the cost of the search. do you want to continue?.')" action="http:example.com/" id="customersearch" name="customersearch" role="form" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" novalidate="novalidate">

How can I avoid this? Can anyone kindly tell me how to stop the form from getting submitted when the user clicks cancel?
