AJAX login form reloading the page

Question

Trying to create a login form using AJAX so the page does not have to change to log a user in. So far I have the following after using a tutorial I found however I have the problem of the form is reloading the page instead of calling the JavaScript function.

HTML:

<form class="login-form" onSubmit="check_login();return false;">
    <input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email">
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
    <button type="submit" class="btn trans login-button">Login</button>
</form>

PHP:

// Retrieve login values from POST variables
$email = strip_tags($_POST['email']);
$password = strip_tags($_POST['password']);

// Salt and hash password for database comparison
$password = saltHash($password);

// Check that both fields are not empty
if(!empty($email) || !empty($password)) {

// Query database to check email and password match entry
$database->query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = :email AND password = :password');
$database->bind(':email',$email);
$database->bind(':password',$password);
$result = $database->single();

if(!empty($result)) {

    // Check entered details match the database
    if($email == $result['email'] && $password == $result['password']) {
        // If login details are correct, return 1
        echo '1';
    }

}
else {
    // If not returned results, return 2
    echo '2';
}

}
else {
    // If either fields are empty, return 3
    echo '3';
}

JavaScript / jQuery:

// Login function
function check_login() {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'check-login.php',
        data: 'email=' + $('input[value="email"]').val() + '&password=' + $('input[value="password"]').val(),
        success: function(response){
            if(response === '1') {
                alert('Log In Success');
            }
            else if(response === '2') {
                alert('Incorrect Details');
            }
            else if(response === '3') {
                alert('Fill In All Fields');
            }
        }
    });
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use This bro...

<form id="F_login" class="login-form">
    <input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email">
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
    <button id="btn_login" type="submit" class="btn trans login-button">Login</button>
</form>

$("#btn_login").click(function(){
    var parm = $("#F_login").serializeArray();
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'check-login.php',
        data: parm,
        success: function (response) {              
            if(response === '1') {
                alert('Log In Success');
            }
            else if(response === '2') {
                alert('Incorrect Details');
            }
            else if(response === '3') {
                alert('Fill In All Fields');
            }

        },
        error: function (error) {
            alert("Login Fail...");
        }
    });
});
            else if(response === '3') {
                alert('Fill In All Fields');
            }
        }
    });
}

It should run well...
