Sending data to database using Jquery/ajax

Sending data to database using Jquery/ajax

I've been trying to put up my form but I keep getting stuck. I got it to
work with jquery disabled. But if I turn Jquery on it does not send
anything. (Without errors in my element inspection)
I've been on it for a while now and I tried different solutions (a few
from different topics here on Stack overflow) but I keep getting to the
same point. It might be something on the server side but I keep thinking
that if that would be the case it shouldn't work at all. Does anyone might
have an idea?

The server side: osb.php
<?php
//set connection variables
$host = "";
$username = "";
$password = "";
$db_name = ""; //database name
//connect to mysql server
$mysqli = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $db_name);
//check if any connection error was encountered
if(mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Error: Could not connect to database.";
exit;
}
$action = isset($_POST['action']) ? $_POST['action'] : "";
if($action=='create'){ //the the user submitted the form
//include database connection
include 'mysqli.php';
//our insert query query
//$mysqli->real_escape_string() function helps us prevent attacks such as
SQL injection
$query = "insert into organisation
set
name = '".$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['name'])."',
continent =

//execute the query

//if saving success

}else{
