Chrome/Safari issues with click()

[anonymous]

Chrome and Safari seem to have a problem with the click() function in that it ignores it if a click() is within another click(). See code:

jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
	$('a#lb_slideshow').click(function(e){
		e.preventDefault();
		document.getElementById('slideshow_1').click();
	});
});

I'm attempting to load an slideshow (Lightbox 2) with a text link instead of the images themselves.

To fix this I've had to use the javascript fix found here:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6157929/how-to-simulate-mouse-click-using-javascript/6158050#6158050 to get this to work.

I'm using Chrome 14.0.835.186 and Safari 5.1(7534.48.3)

click() is a jQuery method (not a DOM method) that can be used to programmatically click an element. See the code below:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
	$('a#lb_slideshow').click(function(e){
		e.preventDefault();
		$('#slideshow_1').click();
	});
});
