title: Why trigger and click do not work in this case?
body: <p>I have a piece of code that does:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>$('td.unique').live('click', function () {  
  //function logic here  
  }); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine on I click on the td of my table. All fine!<br>
  Now I would like to be able to have the same functionality programatically in certain cases without the user actually pressing click.<br>
  I have tried:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() {

  <p>This button is in the same row that the <code>td.unique</code> is</p>
  
  <p>None of these work. Why? Am I doing it wrong? Is the function that I have bind in live not taken into account when I click this way?</p>
