Thx for pointing that out, native events won't fire...check! I got carried away thinking the native event was firing because when i initialy used
$("table.vacatures tbody tr").click( function(){ $(this).find("a:first").click(); }); I got a 'too much recursion' error, thinking that the native event fired -> bubling back up to the <tr> and firing over and over again. That's why I tried .one(). Anyway, thx.
