    I’m not sure why you’re seeing undefined, but I noticed you are not preventing the default submit action. so your page will still submit rather than executing JS.

    You’ll need to do a couple things:

    1. Prevent the default action (ie the submission)
    2. Serialize your form data and submit it via ajax.

    So in code it would look something like this:

    $(document).ready(function() { 
    //Cache DOM reference
    var form = $("#contactus");

    form.submit(function(event) {
        //Prevent the form from regular (non-js) submission
        event.preventDefault();

        //Serialize your data, using jQuery to make it easer
        var data = form.serialize();

        //Submit via ajax
        $.post(
          form.attr('action'),
          data,
          function(response) {
            //You should modify your PHP to return a success or error code, then
            //handle appropriately here - eg if (response === 'success") {...
          }    
        );

     });

});
