Selecting a div with an ID and automatically clicking on it on page load with JQuery

I have a div on my page with the ID of #activateeditbutton. I want this div to be automatically clicked when the page loads.

Here is the code I have written in jQuery, but it does not seem to work. If someone can point out my mistake I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  $('#activateeditbutton').simulate('click');
});

</script>

You need to use .trigger()

 $('#activateeditbutton').trigger('click');

Try this, 

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
      $('#activateeditbutton').trigger('click');
    });
