           $('#test').trigger("click");
      });
 </script>  
 </head>
 <body>
      <a id="test" href="http://www.dartworks.net" >click here</a>
</body>

you didn't attach any click event to the <a> tag you just output it as a link

use the window.location.href like this :

$(document).ready(function() {
    window.location.href = "http://www.dartworks.net";
});

The trigger method will fire all the event handlers bound to that event. Following the link is default behaviour, not something caused by a DOM event handler.
