Jquery form plugin not submitting to process page - php

Question

I have a basic contact form that uses the Jquery form plugin. I cannot get it to submit using the plugin. It only submits if I add a php include to process.php.
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contact").validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
$(form).ajaxSubmit({
url:"process.php",
type:"post",
});
}
});
});
And here is my contact form:
<form id="contact" method="post" name="validation" action="contact.php" onsubmit="return validateForm();">
<fieldset>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full Name" title="Enter your name" class="required">
<label for="email">E-mail</label>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="yourname#domain.com" title="Enter your e-mail address" class="required email">
<label for="phone">Phone</label>
<input type="tel" name="phone" placeholder="ex. [phone]">
<label for="message">Question/Comment</label>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submitted" class="button" id="submit" value="Send Message" />
</fieldset>
</form>
Process.php
<?php
function GetHeaders()
{
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: Company Name<info#companyname.com>' . "\r\n";
return $headers;
}
// Get Data
$name = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
$email = strip_tags($_POST['email']);
$phone = strip_tags($_POST['phone']);
$message = strip_tags($_POST['message']);
// Send Message
$headers = GetHeaders();
$intro = "\"Thank you for contacting Company Name. We are very interested in assessing your situation and will be in touch as soon possible.\" <br />
<br/>
Best Regards,<br/>
<br/>
Company<br/>
";
mail($email, "RE: Contact Form Submission", $intro, $headers);
?>
Thanks for any help in advance.

Answer 1

You need to remove the onsubmit="return validateForm(); from your form attributes. You are already validating using $("#contact").validate({ in your query ready function
Also, your form seems to be submitting to contact.php, not process.php
action="contact.php"
