Problem with jquery AJAX and controller variable

[eluser]condoace[/eluser]
I am trying to call a controller method from a jquery AJAX script, everything seems to work fine (i.e. when I check in Firebug the values/varaibles are being posted to the controller) however cant get any of the input variables using $this->input->post(). Check out my code below:

Any ideas would be helpful!?

VIEW

Code:

$(function() {  
  $("#submit").click(function() {  
        
      var name = $("input#name").val();  
      
   var email = $("input#email").val();  
  
   var company = $("input#company").val();  
  
   //alert (dataString);return false;  
   $.ajax({  
  type: "POST",  
  url: '<?php echo base_url().'index.php/launch/form';?>',  
  data: {'name' : name, 'email' : email, 'company' : company},  
  success: function() {  
    $('#contact_form').html("<div id='message'></div>");  
    $('#message').html("<h2>Contact Form Submitted!</h2>")  
    .append("<p>We will be in touch soon.</p>")  
    .hide()  
    .fadeIn(1500, function() {  
   $('#message').append("<img id='checkmark' src='images/check.png' />");  
    });  
  }  
   });  
   return false;          
        
        
  });  
});

CONTROLLER

Code:

function form() {
  
   $this->output->enable_profiler(true);
  
    $name = $this->input->post('name');
    
    $email = $this->input->post('email');
    
    $company = $this->input->post('company');
    
    $this->load->model('Model_launch');
    
     if($query = $this->Model_launch->enquiry($name,$email,$company))
     {
          
      $this->session->set_flashdata('result','test');
      
      $this->load->view('view_launch',$data);
      
      
     }
    
     else
     {  
    
      $this->load->view('view_launch');
      
     }  
    
  }
