JQuerry 'on click event' to send http request

Hi!

First off, fantastic theme and thank you for making it available!

I am using it for my home automation project where I have added a number of buttons using the Maxbutton plug in.

I want to execute some ajax code to send a http request to a php file which is server side… something like this:

$('maxbutton id="17"').click(function(){
$.get('https://ipaddress/file.php');
});

Is this possible and would this code above work? I am a bit of a noob and would appreciate your help.

Thanks
