AJAX submit button won’t work in IE

Hi, all –

I have a perfectly wonderful jQuery/AJAX contact form that does everything it’s supposed to do – except submit. ? ? ?

FYI, the form DOES submit in Firefox; the problem (surprise, surprise) only occurs in IE.

My code is below; please feel free to see my problem in action at [URL=”www.mysarasotashortsale.com/test”]www.mysarasotashortsale.com/test[/URL].
