Returning false not working with MVC post

In my ASP.NET MVC view,

@using (Html.BeginForm("MyAction","MyController",FormMethod.Post))
{
<input type="submit" id="submitSelectedItems" value="Add to Items" />
}

Also I have a Jquery onclick event for the submit button,

$a("#submitSelectedItems").on("click", function () {
            if (SelectedItem.length <= 0) {
                alert("Please select a style to proceed!!");                    
                return flase;
            }
            else {
                return true;
            }
            return flase;                
        });

Here I am successfully getting the alert when ever there is no items selected, however after the alert eventhough I am returning false, here the post to the action method is not stopped, it continuous with that? How can I stop posting? I even tried with e.preventDefault();, but no luck.

You are returning flase; Please check your code once again. It should return false,

$a("#submitSelectedItems").on("click", function () {
        if (SelectedItem.length <= 0) {
            alert("Please select a style to proceed!!");                    
            return false;    //you have spelled wrong false as flase
        }
        else {
            return true;
        }
        return false;     //you have spelled wrong false as flase           
    });
