Set onclick event using script

Question

I want to make my script set the onclick properity of a <div>.

I use this Html code:

<div id="forgotpass">Forgot Password?</div> 

I want when a user clicks the <div> a forgotpass() function to run, but I do not want to use this:

<div id="forgotpass" onclick="forgotpass();">Forgot Password?</div>

Alternatively, if you're not using jQuery:

document.getElementById('forgotpass').onclick = forgotpass;
