At first glance it looks like the form is handled by PHP using a
relative URL.  Unless you are running a PHP compatible server locally
(and your use of the phrase "all of the supporting folders and files"
suggests you are not) then it can't work offline.

You could try changing

  mailHandlerURL:'bat/MailHandler.php'

to

  mailHandlerURL:'http://www.oil4lessllc.com/bat/MailHandler.php'

so the same PHP resource is used even when the pages are just local
files.

It's a shame that this is all done using client-side scripting.  You'd
get a very much more obvious error if the form element had an action
attribute.  Client-side scripting should really only be used to add
features that assist the user, rather than being responsible for basic
functionality like submitting the form.

But, as I say, first glance.  And you have hundreds of lines of script.
