Javascript autoclick not working

I am using a script to make tables in html sortable. The script is here- http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/. I want the text which sorts the html table to be clicked automatically when the i loaded. The autoclick script i am using is this-

<head>
<script LANGUAGE='javascript'>
function autoClick(){
document.getElementById('sort').click();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="autoClick();">
<table><tr><th><p id="sort">Click here to sort the table</p></th>...

The problem is that this is not working and i am confused that why this isnt working.

--------------------EDIT------------------

Sorry for this but actually i was typing something wrong in the body onload statement. Thus the script i was using was correct.

Where have you defined your event?
Because I see juste one function in your onload.

Below, a little example which work fine:

<html>
    <head>
        <script type='text/javascript'>
        var init = function() 
        {
            document.getElementById('test').addEventListener('click', function() {
                alert('Auto test is ok');
            }, false);
        };

        function autoClick(){
            document.getElementById('test').click();
        }

        </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="init(); autoClick();">
        <button id="test">Test</button>
    </body>
</html>

I think you missed the class name in the table

Please add your table tag with class name called "sortable".

It's always safer to use Jquery library. Just include the latest Jquery library on your header section of the page:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

and this function Should solve your issue:

$("#sort").live('click');
