title: Identify this item clicked on trigger
body: <p>I have a menu that is usually clicked by the user.  It executes a function</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('.MenuItem').click(function() {
   document.writeln($(this).html() + ' was clicked');   
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have run into a new requirement where I need to trigger the click of a menu item programmatically.  So I tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>//I want to trigger click and identify the item that has been clicked. Normally, I just use 
  //the this object, but on a trigger I don't know how to assign this so `.html()` functions.
  
  //This doesn't work as intended.   
  //$('.MenuItem').trigger('click','Item1');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I identify the item clicked on <code>trigger</code>?<br /><br />
