How can I simulate an anchor click via jquery?

For some reason I thought this would be really easy. Here's my code:

$('#someDamnedDiv').live('click', function () {
    $('a', this).trigger('click');
});

What the Sam Hill is wrong with my function?

Answer 1

I don't think it's possible to simulate a click on a link. Look here. However, you could do this:

$('#someDamnedDiv').live('click', function (event) {
    window.location = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
    event.preventDefault();
});

Answer 2

this is what i use for one of my projects:

$('div.classname').click(function(e){
    if($(e.target).is('a')) return;
    $(this).find('a').click();
});
