To fire the onclick event on a specified HTML element you can use the following way:

HTMLElement div = (HTMLElement) browser.getDocument().getElementById("eventDiv");
div.fireEvent("onclick", new EventObjectFactory() {
    public EventObject create() {
        EventObject eventObject = new EventObject();
        eventObject.setButton(2);
        eventObject.setClientX(15);
        eventObject.setClientY(15);
        return eventObject;
    }
});
