 * Hello, I’m trying to rig up an automatic email to send whenever someone clicks
   a specific button on a site. I’ve tried giving the form’s submit button an id
   and then using $(“#submitid”).click(); but that doesn’t do anything. Is there
   a way to do this? Or just fire the submission with a function name in some javascript
   in the footer?

 * What is your main aim of doing this ?
