Keyboard "click" Events - Click Events Don't Seem To Fire If You Use Your Keyboard?

It's pretty common to assign a click even to a <div> (or other tag), such as:

Code:

// JQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
$("div").click(function(){[code]....

Of course this event won't be accessible from the keyboard, which might be nice. Now if it where an <a> tag, you can do this:

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(e){
alert("clicked");
e.preventDefault();
});
});

The click event will fire if you click the <a>, OR if you tab to it with your keyboard and hit Enter.My question is: is there a way to make elements other than <a> tags accessible in this way? I recently discovered if you define a tabindex on your div, such as <div tabindex="0">test</div>, you can tab to that div, but click events don't seem to fire if you use your keyboard. Are <a> tags the only tags that can work in this way?
