Question

How can I get a simple invoke click to function like this: http://jsfiddle.net/ftwPS/6/ I am apparently missing something basic since this is not working when you click “CLICK”.

$('tr').click(function() {
   $(this).find('a').click();
});​

<table>
<tr>
    <td>
        <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>
    </td>
    <td>
        CLICK
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Update your code to this;

$(function(){
    $('tr').click(function() {
        $(this).find('a')[0].click();
    });
});
