Can a div be the used for onClick

I inherited a site written with <layer> tags for 4.79. I want to update
it for Mozilla but am having .js problems. Changing the layers to divs
will be easy but one problem is that the site is written so that
clicking on a layer fires off some javascript that changes the
appearance of other layers. I can do the appearance/disappearance part,
but I can not figure out how to make a div such that clicking anywhere
on it will trigger javascript.

Suggestions and comments welcome.

The site is on an intranet and is not accessible from the world.

What browser are you using? The code below worked in all the popular
browsers out there...

<div onclick="alert( 'yeah' );"
style="left:50px;top:50px;position:absolute;backgr ound-color:#12d635;width:1
50px;height;450px;">
This is a div
</div>

Is this what you wanted?

exactly what I wanted, I am using Mozilla 1.5b.

THIS TIME, it works like a charm. I must have had an error in my code
earlier. Thanks a lot !
