是否有可能通过程序模拟点击<a href> tag using jquery?

Question

can we programatically click on an a href tag using jquery? i have tried $('a#someid').click(); but this does not trigger anything.. although i am using $("a#someid").attr("href", "someurl") to set the href dynamically which works fine..

Also i tried giving window.location = "someurl", but when this is done.. the IE browsers security comes into play and asks for me to download file. which i need to avoid. if the same "someurl" is given as an href to an A tag the url is loaded without any IE securities..

Any help is very much appreciated..

使用.trigger（'click'）不会触发本机点击事件。为了模拟一个默认的点击，你可以绑定一个单击处理程序，像这样：

$('#someLink').bind('click', function() { 
    window.location.href = this.href; 
    return false; 
}); 

...其中“someLink”是您的首选的实际选择。

然后，您可以根据其他交互触发该绑定点击处理程序（如果需要）。

$('input.mycheckbox').click(function() { 
    if (this.checked) { 
    $('#someLink').trigger('click'); 
    } 
});
