Is there any difference between
document.onclick and
window.onclick event?
Thanks.

onClick will work in html, but if you're defining the handler in JS, you need to use the lowercased onclick. in XHTML, HTML attributes are case sensitive.
The onclick event generally occurs when the user clicks on an element. It allows the programmer to execute a JavaScript's function when an element gets clicked. This event can be used for validating a form, warning messages and many more. Using JavaScript, this event can be dynamically added to any element.
The onclick event executes a certain functionality when a button is clicked. This could be when a user submits a form, when you change certain content on the web page, and other things like that. You place the JavaScript function you want to execute inside the opening tag of the button.
A global variable, window , representing the window in which the script is running, is exposed to JavaScript code. The Window interface is home to a variety of functions, namespaces, objects, and constructors which are not necessarily directly associated with the concept of a user interface window.
The JavaScript Window object is the highest level JavaScript object which corresponds to the web browser window.
The document object is the container for all HTML HEAD and BODY objects associated within the HTML tags of an HTML document. This could correspond to the top-most window, or an iframe within the window.
Update
After a quick test there really is no difference between the two. However, as others have said, window.onclick did not work when tested in IE8. So apparently the bottom line is that document.onclick is the preferred choice.

I've heard of some versions of IE not supporting window.onclick
