Hi George,

Go to http://www.visualjquery.com/index.xml  , Events -> Mouse -> click()
Last time I've tried (v1.0.2) this didn't work but now it may. I
suspect it now working like you want if you're using the event object
in the callback function. So your code should look like that :

$('#srcbutton').click(function() {
   $('#targetbutton').click();
});

If it doesn't work, here is what I usually do :

var do_something = function() { alert('this is the element's callback') }
$('#targetbutton').click(do_something)
$('#srcbutton').click(do_something}
