I'm trying to trigger click event on hyperlink with jQuery like the way below. Hyperlink does not have any id but it does have css class:

$(document).ready(function () {  
  $('.cssbuttongo').trigger('click'); 
});

The function above is not working. This is the hyperlink:

<a href="hyperlinkurl" class="cssbuttongo">hyperlink anchor</a>

jquery events triggers hyperlink click

Triggering a click via JavaScript will not open a hyperlink. This is a security measure built into the browser.

See this question for some workarounds, though.
