Hiya Working demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/f6FJ3/19/

for the trigger reason read this : jQuery: trigger click() doesn't work?

It's important to clarify that doing jQuery('#open').click() does not execute the href attribute of an anchor tag so you will not be redirected. It executes the onclick event for #open which is not defined.

below code will get the desired output of window getting open on image click.

JQuery Code

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.tmb').click(function(){
        var target=$(this).parent().find("a");

        $("#debug").text("clicked "+target.text());
        //target.triggerHandler('click');
        window.open(target.attr('href'));

    });
});​

Hope this helps, cheers!
