Ajax request not being sent

I'm currently creating a function that makes a POST request to an application. I have my JSON string correctly set up, but when I use the debugger and monitor network activity, I never see any request being sent from my browser. Here is a breakdown of my code. I had to do some trickery, as this is a PoC code, and it originally dealt with a jsp page.

$(document).ready(function() {

  $("#myForm").submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var myJsonObject = new Object();
    //set up my object and stringify it into myString

    sendDataToServer(myString);     
    });

  function sendDataToServer(jsonString) {
     $.ajax({
       type: "POST",
       data: jsonString,
       contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
       url: "http://ift.tt/1xXLCv2"
       dataType : 'json',
       processdata: true,
       success: eval("successMessage"),
       error: eval("failureMessage")
       });
    }

 function successMessage() {
    alert("Post was successful");
  }

 function failureMessage() {
    alert("Post failed");
  }
});

Now, my ajax call fails (still dealing with credential issues and certs), but I can't even see any request being sent from the start. Is my ajax call wrong, or is there some other problem? If I am denied access to the server due to cert issues, would it fail when trying to set up a connection to the server before sending any request?
