Problem with jquery ajax form on Codeigniter

Question

Everytime I test the email is send correctly. (I have tested in PC: IE6, IE7, IE8, Safari, Firefox, Chrome. MAC: Safari, Firefox, Chrome.)

The _POST done in jquery (javascript). Then when I turn off javascript in my browser nothing happens, because nothing is _POSTed.

But I keep recieving emails like this from costumers:

Answer 1

You need to specify ACTION attribute to your form action="http://www.myserver.com/index.php/pt/envia" , because you are posting to your contact_form.php which I guess is not where you want to post looking at your AJAX code.

2nd edit:

You also need to specify the METHOD attribute of the form. Currently with disabled JavaScript the form is sent via GET and you are looking for POST variables.

<form name="frm" id="frm" method="post">
