The issue is that you can't trigger a link's default action via a click.
I've worked around it with the following code:
jQuery("table.data_panel tr").each(function(){
if(jQuery("a", this).length == 1) jQuery(this).click(function(e) {
var link = jQuery(this).find("a")[0];
if(!jQuery(e.target).is(":input") && !jQuery(e.target).is("option")
&& !link.onclick) {
window.open(link.href, link.target || "_self");
return false;
} else if(!jQuery(e.target).is(":input") &&
!jQuery(e.target).is("option")
&& link.onclick) {
jQuery(link).click();
return false;
}
});
});
That code is a bit more complex, because it tests for other situations, but
the meat of it, which is:
var link = jQuery("> a", this)
if(!link.onclick) window.open(link.href, link.target || "_self")
else jQuery(link).click()
is what you need. That will open the link with the current target (defaults
to self) if there's no existing click binding, otherwise it'll fire the
click event.

I'm embarassed to post this, but is the click() method not supported for
links to trigger them?
I have a div that has a link inside of it that I want to trigger as if
someone clicked that link when they click the div.
<div id="foo">
<a href="http://jquery.com";>MyLink</a>
</div>
$('#foo').bind('click', function(){
// Works in IE, not Firefox
$('> a', this)[0].click();
// I've also tried
$('> a', this).trigger('click');
});
Does the click method just not work like I am expecting it to?
