How can I execute EventListener 'click' from JavaScript

I have event listener myObject.addEventListener('click',this.doSomething,false) on element. It works fine when I do mouse click but I cannot figure out how to trigger click from JavaScript. It seems like element.click() does not work for divs?

I am using jQuery and I have also tried trigger('click') but nothing is happening.

Update:

Here is sample code http://jsbin.com/iniwi5/2

Can you bind the event using jQuery instead?

$(myobject).click(function() {

});

Then

myobject.trigger('click');

would programmatically trigger the click.

To trigger a click event listener added via addEventListener, you need to manually dispatch a click event, using either dispatchEvent (for standards-compliant browsers) or fireEvent (for IE < 9).

Try this:

myObject.click; // no `()`

OR:

(myObject.click)();
