  1. WordPress provides functionality and hooks to develop with AJAX to make it really easy. See the Codex.

    You should also check out wp_mail for sending emails.

    Remember that WordPress loads jQuery in noconflict mode, so your $ selector’s should be ‘jQuery’.

    To prevent abuse you should consider adding a nonce to your script. WordPress handles that too 🙂 See wp_create_nonce.

    I think this is a good reference article once you have the bones in places

  2. url: "<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/qoute-sent.php",

    Should the URL be “quote-sent.php”? Just checking.

    Also, have you set up the AJAX actions for WP? It won’t work without them. I’d generally do something like:

    <?php
    function my_send_email(){
        doStuff(); // etc..
        echo 'sent!';
        die();
    }
    add_action('wp_ajax_my_send_email', 'my_send_email');
    add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_my_send_email', 'my_send_email');
?>

    Like Mark said, I’d also recommend using wp_mail.
