There's not really that many ways. John's method is (AFAIK) the only
way that actually works. i.e.:
$('div.test').click(function(event){ location.href =
$('a').attr('href') });
It's not actually jQuery problem, just the way browsers do it. Even if
you called ".click()" on a raw link it would not do the same thing as
the user clicking on the link.
No idea why it's that way.
