>From my understanding that should work, and in some browsers it does.
To make it work in the other browsers too you could try it with
window.addEventListener("click", click, false);
or
document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", click, false);
Might be they don't both work the same way (if they do work, that is)
when clicking on an area of the window in which nothing is. In that
case you would have clicked on the window but not on any visible child
element of the root element. At least it seems reasonable to me that
this would dispatch the event on the window object but not on the
rootElement. I'm not sure if browsers consistently implement it this
way though.
Hope this helps.
