jquery onload .click() not working

I have an click() function that should trigger when the page loads. but it doesn't - only when you manually click it.

Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/serw5/ 

//onload: 
$(".pageselector").first().trigger('click');

$(".pageselector").click(function(e){
   e.preventDefault();
   var pageid = $(this).data('pageid');
   alert(pageid);
   // ajax....
});

Thanks in advance

You need to be put your trigger call after you bind the click handler. Right now, you are trying to trigger a non-existent click handler.

Put the trigger call after your handler declaration:

$(".pageselector").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var pageid = $(this).data('pageid');
    alert(pageid);
      // ajax....
});

$(".pageselector").first().trigger('click');
