How do you catch a click event with plain Javascript?

Question

I know that when using jQuery you can do $(\'element\').click(); to catch the click event of an HTML element, but how do you do that with plain Javascript?

Here is an interesting article about that, i used the same approach some times, basically, you add the event handler to window. http://mislav.uniqpath.com/js/handling-events-on-elements/
