[jQuery] Re: Simple click event

[Karl Swedberg]

You can't trigger a link's default action with jQuery, but you can do  
something like this:

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

I created an email link, that I want invoked ("clicked") on page load.
I thought I could simply do:

$().ready(function() {
   $("#thelink").click()
})

Do I need to do something else?

Thanks.
