Before you say this is a duplicate, hear me out. I followed this answer (jQuery Ajax POST example with PHP), but I am trying to send the data to a Google Sheet. I have already got the code working on the Google Sheet, as I can add data to it by running my code directly from the sheet.
However, getting it to work with my webpage is apparently the problem. Even though I have followed the answer to the question I posted above, I think there is something more at play here that has to do with my lack of experience working in this area.
The code below is to a floating footer and is contained within the code of the whole webpage (where jquery-1.11.0.min.js and jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js have already been called). When I click on the submit button, the page looks like it processes the request, but nothing ever appears on the Google Sheet, Sheet1 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19l2kSHdBKEWtIFX44FxLBdvCoKjy7VqPF4IW6C1xAZc/edit?usp=sharing).

Any suggestions on what could be going wrong? I am quite inexperienced when it comes to web development, as compared to most on this site. So I'm sure it's something simple I am missing!
