Hello guys,

i been searching and searching and i cant find a solution everything seems fine to me so help me a bit on this :

First of all i got my .js form like this :

**Contact.js**

```php

$(document).ready(function(){
	$("#submit").click(function(){
		$(".error").hide();
		var hasError = false;
		var emailReg = /^([\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/;
        
		var nameVal = $("#name").val();
		if(nameVal == '') {
			$("#name").after('<span class="error">Porfavor pon tu nombre.</span>');
			hasError = true;
		}
		
		var emailVal = $("#email").val();
		if(emailVal == '') {
			$("#email").after('<span class="error">Porfavor por tu email</span>');
			hasError = true;
		} else if(!emailReg.test(emailVal)) {
			$("#email").after('<span class="error">Porfavor pon un email valido.</span>');
			hasError = true;
		}
        var messageVal = $("#message").val();
		if(messageVal == '') {
			$(".textarea").after('<span class="error">Porfavor pon tu mensaje.</span>');
			hasError = true;
		}
        if(hasError == false) {
		$(".button").hide();
        $("#loading").append('<img src="img/ajax-loader.gif" alt="Loading" id="loading" />');
	
	 $.post("sendEmail.php",
   { name: nameVal, email: emailVal, message: messageVal },
   	function(data){
		$("#sendEmail").slideUp("normal", function() {

			$("#sendEmail").before('<h2>Email enviado.</h2>');
		});
	}
);
	
}
		return false;
		
	});

	
});

```

then i have the contact.php that will load it first

```php
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/contact.js"></script>

```

so after that code " we are still on contact.php " i have the current form :

```php
</li>
        <li><a href="contact.php" class="current">/ Contacto</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
    <div id="left_large_page" class="clearfix">
      <div class="main_content">
        <h1>Contactanos</h1>
        <form action="contact.php" method="post" id="sendEmail">
          <fieldset>
          <label for="name">Nombre*:</label>
          <div class="input_bg">
            <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" />
          </div>
          <label for="email">Email*:</label>
          <div class="input_bg">
            <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" />
          </div>
          <label for="message">Mensaje*:</label>
          <div class="clearfix">
            <div class="textarea"><span class="top"></span>
              <textarea name="message" id="message" rows="6" cols=""></textarea>
              <span class="bottom" id="bottom_message"></span> </div>
          </div>
          <a href="#" class="button" id="submit"><span>
          <button type="submit"><b>Enviar</b></button>
          </span> </a>
          <div id="loading"></div>
          <p>
            <input type="hidden" name="submitted" id="submitted" value="true" />
          </p>
          </fieldset>
        </form>
        <p></p>

```

And finally i ahve my sendemail.php

```php
<?php

$mailTo ='me@email.com';
$email = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject='New Contact From: '.$name;
$message = $_POST['message'];

			
mail($mailTo, $subject, $message, "De : ".$email);
?>

```

how are the files setup :

root/js/content.js  
root/content.php  
root/sendEmail.php

Any clue of what its mal-function i will be very happy to solve this 🙂
