Form Submit problem

Form Submit problem

I've tried to make a form getting send by a standard button,
but it didn't went well.
In the following code, the alert was executed but the form wasn't send.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-8-i" />
   <title>Untitled</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#x").click(function(){
            alert("getting done..");
              $("#wow").submit();
              //this didn't work either: $("form").submit();
            return false;
         });
      });
    </script>
</head>

<body dir="rtl">
   <form method="post" action="send.php" id="wow">
   
         <input type="button" value="send" id="x" />
   
   </form>
</body>
</html>


I would like to get some help please. thanks.
