re-firing a click event on a link with jQuery

Question

i\'ve got a page (asp.net) where I trap the click event of a link. i then do some dirty checking and present a dialog to the user,

$(function() {
    var c         


        

Answer 1

you can use the trigger function, Change:

$(clickedLink).click();

to

$(clickedLink).trigger("click");

A better way would be to separate your click functionality out into a separate function and call this, however the above will work.
