   $('#trigger-me').trigger('click'); 
});

<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" target="_blank" id="trigger-me">trigger hidden</a>

EDIT

I would like to trigger a thickbox on page load, i got some code but it only shows the black “tint”.. so i thougth i would trigger it like this but this way does not work either.. any suggestions?

Answer 1

It hasn’t got a click event…

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#trigger-me').click(function() {
        window.location.href = $(this).attr("href");
    });
    $('#trigger-me').trigger('click'); 
});

update: jsfiddle
