I have looked everywhere and I cannot seem to get it working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

*****EDIT****

Here is the new code I have adding Nicks advice.

 <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document)
        .ready(function () {
            $(".modalbox").fancybox();
            $("#contact").submit(function () {
                    return false;
                });
            $("#send").on("click", function () {

                    {
                        // if both validate we attempt to send the e-mail
                        // first we hide the submit btn so the user doesnt click twice
                        $("#send").replaceWith("<em>sending...</em>");

                        $.ajax({
                            type: "POST",
                            url: "AJAX_Quote.php",
                            data: JSON.stringify({name: $("#Form_Name").val(),email: $("#Form_Email").val(),eid: $("#Form_ID").val(),company: $("#Form_Company").val(),number: $("#Form_Number").val(),comments: $("#Form_Comments").val()}),
                            dataType: 'json',
                            success: function () {
                                {

                                    $("#contact")
                                        .fadeOut("fast", function () {
                                            $(this).before("<p><strong>Success! Your feedback has been sent, thanks :)</strong></p>");
                                            setTimeout(function () { $.fancybox.close(); }, 50)
                                        });
                                }
                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
        });
</script>

Answer 1

The server will expect a json string, not json object. Please update this,

From

data: {name: $("#Form_Name").val(),email: $("#Form_Email").val(),eid: $("#Form_ID").val(),company: $("#Form_Company").val(),number: $("#Form_Number").val(),comments: $("#Form_Comments").val()},

To

data: JSON.stringify({name: $("#Form_Name").val(),email: $("#Form_Email").val(),eid: $("#Form_ID").val(),company: $("#Form_Company").val(),number: $("#Form_Number").val(),comments: $("#Form_Comments").val()}),

Answer 2

Looks like there are multiple ways based on the version being used. Not sure of your version.

Some one has suggested using: $.fancybox.close(true)

Answer 3

I was able to get itworking by changing this

success: function () {
                            {

                                $("#contact")
                                    .fadeOut("fast", function () {
                                        $(this).before("<p><strong>Success! Your feedback has     been sent, thanks :)</strong></p>");
                                        setTimeout(function () { $.fancybox.close(); }, 50)
                                    });
                            }

to this

success: setTimeout(function () { parent.$.fancybox.close(); }, 2000)
