Submitting a form via AJAX not working

I am trying to use Jquery and AJAX to submit a small contact form without page refresh. I got the code from another Stackoverflow thread but when I try to submit a form and click submit button nothing happens. I don't even get any error messages on console also . So can any one tell me what I am doing wrong here. Here is the form

 <form id="contactform" name="contactForm">
       <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
       <input type="text" name="email"/><br/>
      <textarea name="comment">

      </textarea>
      <p style='text-align:right;'><input type="submit"/></p>
       </form>

Here is JS:

<script>
// variable to hold request
var request;
// bind to the submit event of our form
$("#contactform").submit(function(event){
    // abort any pending request
    if (request) {
        request.abort();
    }
    // setup some local variables
    var $form = $(this);
    // let's select and cache all the fields
    var $inputs = $form.find("input, select, button, textarea");
    // serialize the data in the form
    var serializedData = $form.serialize();

    // let's disable the inputs for the duration of the ajax request
    $inputs.prop("disabled", true);

    // fire off the request to /form.php
    request = $.ajax({
        url: "form.php",
        type: "post",
        data: serializedData
    });

    // callback handler that will be called on success
    request.done(function (response, textStatus, jqXHR){
        // log a message to the console
        console.log("Hooray, it worked!");
    });

    // callback handler that will be called on failure
    request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
        // log the error to the console
        console.error(
            "The following error occured: "+
            textStatus, errorThrown
        );
    });

    // callback handler that will be called regardless
    // if the request failed or succeeded
    request.always(function () {
        // reenable the inputs
        $inputs.prop("disabled", false);
    });

    // prevent default posting of form
    event.preventDefault();
});

</script>

and finally here is post.php file.

<?php
echo $_POST['fullname']."<br/>";
echo $_POST['email']."<br/>";
echo $_POST['comment']."<br/>";

?>

Here is the url of the page which has the form: http://contestlancer.com/davidicus/

If you click on the small message icon in the header logo you will see contact form.

You're sending request to form.php and you said your file name is post.php. Change this part:

request = $.ajax({
        url: "form.php",
        type: "post",
        data: serializedData
    });

To:

request = $.ajax({
        url: "post.php",
        type: "post",
        data: serializedData
    });
