...

    You can call method from html itself. modified jsbin. Instead of submitting form on click you can call submitHandler and pass form reference.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>JS Bin</title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    function validate(){

    }

    function submitHandler(form){
      validate();
      alert('foo');

}
    window.onload = function(){
        document.foobar.submit = submitHandler;
    }
</script>

</head>
<body>
    <form method="POST" action="page.html" onsubmit="submitHandler(this);" name="foobar">
      <input type="text" />
    </form>

    <div onclick="document.foobar.submit()">click me</div>
</body>    
</html>
