How to run a simple click event on a div

I am trying to implement a simple click event but can't get it working. If I remove the callback it works, but on load not on click.

Does anyone know what's wrong in my code?

script.js

const green = document.getElementById('green');

const clickColor = () => {
  alert('This is green color');
}

green.onclick = () => clickColor();

You could add a class to the element you're clicking on, and have the function pick that up.

const button = document.querySelector('button');

button.addEventListener('click', clickColor, false);

function clickColor() {
  const c = this.className;
  console.log(`This is ${c}`);
}
button { color: white; }
.green { background-color: green; }
<button class="green">Green</button>
