Joomla 2.5 - Custom hand coded form and PHP mailer - Can't find the contact.php file

I'm working on a new Joomla 2.5 site running under XAMPP. I have written a custom estimating form in HTML as an Article.... A jQuery file for calc's and a contact.php file to email all calc's and client info.

As for using a form plug-in I don't think this is possible because of all of the calculations ... sliders ect. going on.

The problem is when I hit the submit button, joomla can't seem to find the contact.php file. I am running XAMPP and have located the contact.php file in the root of my project.

Here's the link to my Article with the form

http://localhost/cleardraft/index.php/hosting/2012-02-17-02-08-39/estimate

Link which is being returned that can't be found when clicking the Submit button. I was not expecting a link like this to the contact.php file

http://localhost/cleardraft/index.php/hosting/2012-02-17-02-08-39/contact.php

Sample of HTML

<form id="wizard-form" method="post" action="contact.php" class="jWizard">

 <!------normal form code stuff here----->

<button type="submit" class="button-finish" style="display: inline-block; ">Submit</button>

I have searched and searched but have found no answers online.

This is was hanging out at the bottom of my HTML file! Totally forgot about!!!!!! this was the cause of my headache!!!

$('form#wizard-form').bind('submit', function() {
    $('.R_C_loader').show();
    $.post("http://localhost/cleardraft/contact.php", <--Direct Path here and Solved it.
           $("#wizard-form").serialize(), 

           function(reply) {
               $(".R_C_message, #R_C_TopMessage").removeClass().html(reply);
               $('.R_C_loader').hide();
           });

    return false;

});
