click() not working in Chrome

I have code like

   1: var link = document.getElementById("myLink");

   2: link.click();

and it is working in all browsers (really tested in IE8 and FF9) but not in Chrome.

Stackoverflow has three questions about this issue without workaround.

People speak about some security limits.

And voila – solution:

   1: var link = document.getElementById("myLink"); //existing code

   2: $(link).click();

or pure jQuery style:

   1: $("#myLink").click();

jQuery rules!!
