Yes, it's fairly simple. Just use the submit[jQuery docs] method inside of a click handler function.

$("#myDiv").click(function() {
 $("#myForm").submit();
});

If you prefer, you can do it with vanilla Javascript:

document.getElementById("myDiv").onclick = function() {
  document.getElementById("myForm").submit();
};
