jQuery.post not POSTing - php

Question

I am trying to use jQuery to post data to an emailus.php script.
Here is the script part:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#submitt').click(function(){
jQuery.post("/emailus.php", jQuery("#mycontactform").serialize(), function(response) {
jQuery('#success').html(response);
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
and here is the HTML used:
<form action="" method="get" id="mycontactform" >
<label for="name">Your Name:</label><br />
<input type="text" name="name" class="cleann" /><br />
<label for="email">Your Email:</label><br />
<input type="text" name="email" class="cleann" /><br />
<label for="message">Your Message:</label><br />
<textarea name="message" class="cleann" rows="7"></textarea><br />
<input type="button" value="send" id="submitt" class="cleannsubmit" /><div id="success" style="color:green;"></div>
</form>
and here is the php script:
<?php
// Here we get all the information from the fields sent over by the form.
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = 'nohanada#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Fortrove Contact';
$message = 'FROM: '.$name.' Email: '.$email.'Message: '.$message.'\n\nItem:'.$itemname;
print_r($_POST);
if($name && $email && $message){
if (eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)){
mail($to, $subject, $message);
echo "Your email was sent!";
}
else echo "<span style='color:red'>Invalid email format.</span>";
}
else echo "<span style='color:red'>Please fill all fields</span>";
?>
Problem is that it does not POST the actual fields to the php script. What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

you have placed the mycontactform inside product_addtocart_form that is the reason which is not allowed so the browser seems to be remocing the mycontactform
