Javascript - I need equivalent of jQuery trigger click on ID

Question

I want to trigger click another div with Javascript EventListener, but it doesn't work.

Javascript example I'm trying:

var myLink = document.getElementById("click-it");
f.addEventListener(ON_MOUSE_UP, click(myLink));

I can't use jQuery, but if I would, it would simply be:

$( "#click-it" ).trigger("click");

Can somebody help me with this please?

Not sure exactly what you need, but triggering is easy in javascript.

//i assume this element exist in your DOM
var myLink = document.getElementById("click-it");
// first, we add some event to it.
myLink.onclick = doClick;

function doClick() {
alert('you clicked on me');
}
//now if you just need to trigger....
myLink.click();
