How to trigger a click on a link using jQuery

Question

I have a link:

<ul id="titleee" class="gallery">
  <li>
    <a href="#inline" rel="prettyPhoto">Talent</a>
  </li>
</ul>

and I am trying to trigger it by using:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#titleee').find('a').trigger('click');
});

But it doesn't work.

I've also tried: $('#titleee a').trigger('click');

I actually need to trigger whatever get's called here <a href="#inline" rel="prettyPhoto">

Use the jQuery click() Method

You can use the click() method to trigger a click on a link programmatically using jQuery.
