I have stumbled upon a bug in Safari on iPad. 

$('#next_proj a').trigger('click');

.. does not seems to click on the actual link.

Any clues?

Have you tried triggering a touch event instead of a click event? Not sure how you would implement in jquery - but it isn't too complicated in plain js 

function simulateEvent() {
  var e = document.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
  e.initEvent('touchstart',true, true);
  document.dispatchEvent(e);
}

I got this to work by doing this...

var el = $('#next_proj a').get(0);
var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
evt.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);
el.dispatchEvent(evt);

Hope it helps...

It may not be a bug. My guess is that they did not want to allow javascript emulated user clicks.
