jQuery: trigger <asp:LinkButton> click
asp.net, click, jquery
Solution
Add a `CssClass` property to your `LinkButton` and use that as your selector.
Other answers have suggested using ASP.NET `ClientID` to get the rendered ID of the `LinkButton`, which is fine, but this means you have to have your script inline in the page, and the script will only work for this 1 button.
Using a class means you can have multiple elements triggering the same event, and it means you don't need to use inline server-side code to get it to work.
<asp:LinkButton ID="myBtn" runat="server" CssClass="myLink" />
$(".myLink").trigger("click");
Problem
