Using Javascript to embed an onClick event to an HTML div

I'm trying to make an interactable and configurable grid using divs as their cells.

To first give a bit of context on this part of the code, I'm basically just repeating td's in HTML output then appending a specific amount of divs into the td's/rows (cellID is just a method for decorating the div names);

var table, row, div;
table = document.createElement('table');
for (var i=0; i < rows; i++)
{
    row = document.createElement('td');
    row.id = "row-" + i;
    for (var j=0; j < cols; j++)
    {
        div = document.createElement('div');
        div.id = cellID(i, j);
        row.append(div);
    }
    table.append(row);
}

Let's say that: -rows = 4 and -cols = 2 | The output result on the user's end would be this :

Example of what would be shown for a 2x4 grid

Now my current problem that I'm trying to figure out is how to make every repeated div be given the onClick() event so that an event occurs when you click on the boxes, here is what I tried to make this work :

  1. div.addEventListener("click", null); //This part didn't work for me, though to be honest, I don't really know what to replace the null with
  2. div.getElementById(div.id).onclick = function() { OnClick() }; (OnClick is a test method to see if it works, however this one just rejects an error, saying that "div.getElementById" is not a function, so I don't know what's up with that.)

These things I tried were all things that had been recommended throughout, but I don't know what else could make it work.

What do you think the problem may be there?

div.addEventListener() should work.

But you need to create valid DOM structure. Rows are tr, cells are td. You can put the div in the td, or just use the td directly.

let rows = 2,
  cols = 4;
var table, row, div;
table = document.createElement('table');
for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
  row = document.createElement('tr');
  row.id = "row-" + i;
  for (var j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
    let cell = document.createElement("td");
    div = document.createElement('div');
    div.id = cellID(i, j);
    div.addEventListener("click", function() {
      console.log('Clicked on', this.id);
    });
    div.innerText = div.id;
    cell.append(div);
    row.append(cell);
  }
  table.append(row);
}
document.body.appendChild(table);

function cellID(i, j) {
  return `cell-${i}-${j}`;
}
