When I hit the submit button, it takes me to the .php file as if it's a link? It's not running the script. I've looked through other questions and can't seem to find anything relating to the script not actually running so any help is greatly appreciated.
HTML
<article id="contact">
<h2 class="major">Contact</h2>
<form name="contact-form" method="post" action="contact.php">
<div class="field half first">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
</div>
<div class="field half">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="4"></textarea>
</div>
<ul class="actions">
<li><input type="submit" value="Send Message" class="special" name="submit" /></li>
<li><input type="reset" value="Reset" /></li>
</ul>
</form>
