Hi all, click() doesn't work on most browsers because of security reasons. Can you imagine giving some spam programmer the ability to simulate a mouse click?

Subject: [jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
I was looking to do the same thing - I wanted to emulate the click()
method, which doesn't work on all browsers. I have had any luck
either. I was trying to open a file input browse view by clicking on
another link. I can get it to work in IE and Safari, but Firefox
doesn't support it on input[type=file]
