Jquery Form ajaxSubmit not submitting

Question

I am using the JQuery Form extension to submit a form with AJAX. I have the following code:

var options = { 
    beforeSubmit:  showRequest,  // pre-submit callback 
    success:       showResponse,  // post-submit callback 

    // other available options: 
    //url:       url         // override for form's 'action' attribute 
    //type:      'post',       // 'get' or 'post', override for form's 'method' attribute 
    //dataType:  null        // 'xml', 'script', or 'json' (expected server response type) 
    clearForm: true,        // clear all form fields after successful submit 
    //resetForm: true        // reset the form after successful submit 

    // $.ajax options can be used here too, for example: 
    timeout:   3000 
}; 


$('#composeForm').submit(function() { 
    // inside event callbacks 'this' is the DOM element so we first 
    // wrap it in a jQuery object and then invoke ajaxSubmit
 $(this).find(':disabled').removeAttr('disabled');

    $(this).ajaxSubmit(options); 

    // !!! Important !!! 
    // always return false to prevent standard browser submit and page navigation 
    return false; 
}); 

The problem is that the form doesn't appear to be submitting, or atleast the success function is not being called. If I remove the return false, then the submission works, but the page navigates away. Is there a problem in my code that could be causing this?

Cheers, Gazler.

EDIT| Seems to be working on my localhost. Could it be something to do with the domain being an add-on domain?

Here try this :

$(document).ready(function(){
      $("#composeForm").submit(function(){
                var str = $(this).serialize(); 
                var formAction = $(this).attr("action");
                $(this).find(':disabled').attr('disabled','');

$.ajax({
         type: "POST",
         url: formAction,
         data: str,
         beforeSubmit:  showRequest,
         success: showResponse
       });

  return false;

  });

 });
