attachEvent was a Microsoft innovation which has been replaced by the DOM2 standard addEventListener, even in Microsoft's most recent browsers.

So change

document.attachEvent("onclick", func);

to

document.addEventListener("click", func, false);

Of course, that will fail on older IE.

Or, as you say you're using jQuery, you can sidestep the whole issue:

$(document).bind("click", func);   // Antiquated jQuery

I would also strongly recommend you use an up-to-date version of jQuery, as v1.2.6 is ancient in web terms. If you use something recent, then you'd use:

$(document).on("click", func);     // Current jQuery
