Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">

Event.observe(document.body, 'click', function(e) {
    alert("You have clicked the body");
});

Event.observe(window, 'load', function(e) {
    $$('tbody').invoke('observe', 'click', function(e) {
       Event.stop(e); // keeps the event from bubbling up to document.body
    });
});

</script>

I haven't test it, but I'm doing something similar to show/hide html 
tooltips.
