I have a simple html form and jquery. and all I want to run ajax function of jquery, but it always gives error response.

my code is

<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-1.8.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" id="messageForm">
<table border=1>
<tr><td>Name</td><td align=right><input type="text" name="from" /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Surname</td><td align=right><input type="text" name="to" /></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2>Message</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2><textarea name="message" rows=10 cols=50> </textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=right><input type="submit" value="Send"  /></td></tr>
</table>

</form>

<span id="textres">

</span>
<script lang="javascript">

 $("#messageForm").submit(function(event) {

 $.ajax({
  url: "ajax.php",
  data: $("#messageForm").serialize(),
  cache: false,
  error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
     //console.log or alert error
     alert("textStatus:"+textStatus+",errorThrown:"+errorThrown+",XMLHttpRequest:"+XMLHttpRequest);
  },
  success: function(html){
     alert("Data Loaded: "+html);
  }

});

});


</script>
</body>
</html>

and, it never runs success event. when I look google chorome console, there is no error and if I copy the code of

 $.ajax({
  url: "ajax.php",
  data: $("#messageForm").serialize(),
  cache: false,
  error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
     //console.log or alert error
     alert("textStatus:"+textStatus+",errorThrown:"+errorThrown+",XMLHttpRequest:"+XMLHttpRequest);
  },
  success: function(html){
     alert("Data Loaded: "+html);
  }

});

to console, it works well. what should I do to run a simple jquery ajax function ?

    the submit() means the page will be refreshed, try this :

    $("#messageForm").submit(function(event) {
   event.preventDefault();
   ...
   return false;
})
