I don't like using Jquery so this is in raw JS. I did not explain my corrections of your code. Just did it.

JS can not send email (at lest that's what I think - look it up). I added to the CSS and change the display with JS.
The form changes because you use a table and columns grow to the largest <td> width.
Anybody that sees this code can spam your email!! I would use PHP to do this instead.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Requests</title>
<style>
h1 {
  text-align: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  color: #fff;
}
body {
  background-color:  white;
}

input[type=submit] {
  width: 300%;
  background: linear-gradient(to right, #ff3300 0%, #000000 100%);
  color: white;
  padding: 14px 20px;
  margin: 8px 0;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 4px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

input[type=submit]:hover {
  background: linear-gradient(to right, #ff0000 0%, #000000 100%);
}

div {
  border-radius: 5px;
  background-color: #ffccff;
  padding: 20px;
}

input[type=text], select {
padding: 17px;
border: 1px solid #4CAF50;
}

#message {
  font-size: 40px;
  color: red;
  display: none;
  padding: 14px 20px;
  margin: 8px 0;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 4px;

thank you ever so much, but once submitted will this send an email to that email that's in the code?

Both your code and mine opens an email that the user must send. Just run the code to see what I mean. Not a good method I'm afraid. Using a form action to call a PHP code would do this automatically and protect your address.

It would seem you're jumping into the deep end without your floaties!
1. Your ajax request is located in your stylesheet and there is no ajax library file linked to support it.
2. You stylesheet contains eules to elements that don't exist in your document.
3. You have two body rules.
4. input[type=text], select { is not closed.
5. I didn't know html had a 'dedi' type input field.
