I need to run function: hideLogin(event) when the user clicks (onmousedown actually) anywhere except

<div id="loginForm">

Using jQuery:

$('body *').click(function() {
    if (this.id != 'loginForm') {
        hideLogin();
    }
});

Without jQuery:

<body onmousedown="onBodyClick()">

Code:

function onBodyClick() {
    if (this.id != 'loginForm') {
        hideLogin();
    }
}
