The mousedown-event only works if I click an elemnt, not the html-element. Why and What can I do about it?

var curFocus;
$(document.body).delegate('*','mousedown', function(){
    if ((this != curFocus) && // don't bother if this was the previous active element                
        ($(curFocus).is('.field'))  // if it was a .field that was blurred
    ) {
        $('.' + $(curFocus).attr("id")).removeClass("visible"); // take action based on the blurred element
    }

    curFocus = this; // log the newly focussed element for the next event
});

    The <html> tag is a bit to general, it includes non-visible elements like the <head>, try using the <body> tag.
