Ajax contact form is not sending an email - php

Question

I'm using ajax contact form:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
// Comment or uncomment the result you want.
// Currently, shake on error is enabled.
// When a field is left blank, jQuery will shake the form
/* Begin config */
// var shake = "Yes";
var shake = "No";
/* End config */
$('#message').hide();
// Add validation parts
$('#contact input[type=text], #contact input[type=number], #contact input[type=email], #contact input[type=url], #contact input[type=tel], #contact select, #contact textarea').each(function () {
$(this).after('<mark class="validate"></mark>');
});
// Validate as you type
$('#email').focusout(function () {
if (!$(this).val() || !isEmail($(this).val())) $(this).addClass('error').parent().find('mark').removeClass('valid').addClass('error');
else $(this).removeClass('error').parent().find('mark').removeClass('error').addClass('valid');
});
$('#submits').click(function () {
$("#message").slideUp(200, function () {
$('#message').hide();
// Kick in Validation
$('#email').triggerHandler("focusout");
if ($('#contact mark.error').size() > 0) {
if (shake == "Yes") {
$('#contact').effect('shake', {
times: 2
}, 75, function () {
$('#contact input.error:first, #contact textarea.error:first').focus();
});
} else $('#contact input.error:first, #contact textarea.error:first').focus();
return false;
}
});
});
$('#contactform').submit(function () {
if ($('#contact mark.error').size() > 0) {
if (shake == "Yes") {
$('#contact').effect('shake', {
times: 2
}, 75);
}
return false;
}
var action = $(this).attr('action');
$('#submits')
.after('<img src="/system/cms/themes/default/views/partials/assets/ajax-loader.gif" class="loader" />')
.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$.post(action, {
name: $('#name').val(),
email: $('#email').val(),
phone: $('#phone').val(),
website: $('#website').val(),
kvk: $('#kvk').val(),
sending: $('#sending').val(),
webwinkel: $('#webwinkel').val(),
pakketten: $('#pakketten').val(),
},
function (data) {
$('#message').html(data);
$('#message').slideDown();
$('#contactform img.loader').fadeOut('slow', function () {
$(this).remove()
});
$('#contactform #submits').attr('disabled', '');
if (data.match('success') != null) $('#contactform').slideUp('slow');
});
return false;
});
function isEmail(emailAddress) {
var pattern = new RegExp(/^(("[\w-\s]+")|([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)|("[\w-\s]+")([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*))(#((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$)|(#\[?((25[0-5]\.|2[0-4][0-9]\.|1[0-9]{2}\.|[0-9]{1,2}\.))((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\.){2}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\]?$)/i);
return pattern.test(emailAddress);
}
function isNumeric(input) {
return (input - 0) == input && input.length > 0;
}
});
In some way it is not sending the email if i exclude this script the email script does work?
Ive tried everything but i can't get it to work , i think its strange because im using this script on more places and there its working :(...
anyone idea's ?

Resolved
Guys,
Thanks for the quick response.
This is the new jquery ive just downloaded and its working now.
$('#contactform').submit(function(){
if ($('#contact mark.error').size()>0) {
if(shake == "Yes") {
$('#contact').effect('shake', { times:2 }, 75);
}
return false;
}
var action = $(this).attr('action');
$('#submit')
.after('<img src="assets/img/ajax-loader.gif" class="loader" />')
.attr('disabled','disabled');
$.post(action, $('#contactform').serialize(),
function(data){
$('#message').html( data );
$('#message').slideDown();
$('#contactform img.loader').fadeOut('slow',function(){$(this).remove()});
$('#contactform #submit').removeAttr('disabled');
if(data.match('success') != null) $('#contactform').slideUp('slow');
}
);
return false;
});

There's so much wrong on so many levels, please first take a look at www.phptherightway.com.
After that, try and figure out if the form is being sent to the server (via the POST request method). If it's not, I'm guessing the form is returning false on the submit event, and that'll be the reason it's not working most likely.
