Look very closely at it. If you need a clue:

I made the change and it's still not working as expected. I add the
't' and get the same behavior as before. The only difference is that
an entry isn't added to the Error Log. And now, if I comment out
document.getElementById("demo"), it doesn't make a difference.
Clicking outside of the box still doesn't do anything.

Any ideas as to why?

Thanks!

The body's height happens to be much less than the size on the window
for that .html so that clicking under/below the box isn't cliking into
the body. Click at the right side next to the box... and it works.

That helped - thanks!

Am using document.onmouseup, instead, now.

You should use that only as a fallback for the standards compliant

document.documentElement.addEventListener("mouseup ", ...);
