Yes, it is possible to trigger a click event by javascript.
document.getElementById('element').click();
Or with jQuery:
$('#element').click();
Please note that the click event won't work if you are trying to force a click on an anchor tag which opens a page. There are tricks called as "clickjacking" which you can use to force it, but this way you're cheating the user.

you can do:
document.getElementById("idofdiv").onclick = function() {
//your code here
}
or
document.getElementById("idofdiv").onclick = someFunction;
function someFunction() {
//your code here
}
See:: onclick
