How to trigger click event on href element

by

The native DOM method does the right thing:

$('.cssbuttongo')[0].click();
                  ^
              Important!

This works regardless of whether the href is a URL, a fragment (e.g. #blah) or even a javascript:.

Note that this calls the DOM click method instead of the jQuery click method (which is very incomplete and completely ignores href).
