title: Why does jQuery .click() not cause postback when used on this <a> tag?
body: <p>Think this is a quickie for someone. I have this markup (generated by ASP.Net)...</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;A id=anchorO href="javascript:__doPostBack('anchorO','')"&gt;O&lt;/A&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This anchor is in an update panel, and if I click it manually a partial postback takes place. However....</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('[ID$="anchor'+initial+'"]').click()   //JavaScript
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>..selects the correct anchor, but no postback takes place. Why is this?</p>
