Google Maps Dom Listener not reacting to event

I have a very simple set up of a google map. I want to interact with the map using a link outside of the map, so I'm using google.maps.event.addDomListener(), but my events are not being detected. Can anyone help? Jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/kqUwE/4/

function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.507, -0.1275);
var myOptions = {
  zoom: 10,
  center: myLatlng,
  mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

google.maps.event.addDomListener(document.getElementById("click_me", 'click', function () {
    alert(document.getElementById("click_me"));
}));

}

window.onload = function() {
    initialize();


};

Solved it: Misplaced bracket, should be this instead:

google.maps.event.addDomListener(document.getElementById("click_me"), 'click', function () {
    alert(document.getElementById("click_me"));
});
