Trigger click jquery not working

Question

I'm figuring out why this simple script is not working:

jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('.next_button a').trigger('click');
});

noConflict is necessary because I also load prototype/scriptaculous in this page.

If I replace .trigger('click') with another function (es: .css(...) this works well. Only triggering seems to go broken.

How can I simulate an anchor click via jquery? Check this link and see this answer by Stevanicus.

$('a#swaswararedirectlink')[0].click();
