how to perform click to the output of ActionLink by jQuery or javascript?

Question

<%= Ajax.ActionLink("Edit", "Update", "Home", new { id = item.mID }, new AjaxOptions { OnBegin = "function(){ $('#edit" + item.mID + "').show();}", HttpMethod = "get", UpdateTargetId = "edit" + item.mID })%>

The above code generates the html source code. when user click the link, it works well. But there're so many links there, I must click them one by one. Is there any method to click once, all of them excutes?

I tried the method: $("a.buttonID").click() and modified the above code:

<%= Ajax.ActionLink("Edit", "Update", "Home", new { id = item.mID }, new AjaxOptions { OnBegin = "function(){ $('#edit" + item.mID + "').show();}", HttpMethod = "get", UpdateTargetId = "edit" + item.mID } new{@class="buttonID"})%>

But it doesn't work. Because it only excutes the onclick event of a tag, the href attribute doesn't work.
