I a with an onclick event and , and inside it.
When I click on the checkbox then the div-onclick event doesnt fire - I would like it to fire without having to dublicate the onclick onto the checkbox.

<div id="id-tag" onclick="do()">
  <span>text</span>
  <img src="pic.jpg" />
  <input type="checkbox" name="mycheck" />
</div>

I know the div-idtag but ideally would like to avoid specifying it inside the checkbox.
Using another function call on the checkbox onclick to call the parent is NOT what I am looking for, like

onclick="run_parent_onclick()"

but this is okay (untested)

onclick="this.parent.click()"
