document.onclick settimeout function javascript help -

I have a document. I can not get the right of syntax for the onclic function which I would like to delay.

My original code

I tried the following, but that code is incorrect, the function has not been executed and nothing has happened.

  & lt; Script type = "text / javascript" & gt; Document.onclick = setTimeout ("Check", 1000);  

I tried the next set, the function was executed, but there was no delay.

  & lt; Script type = "text / javascript" & gt; SetTimeout (document.onclick = check, 1000);  
 TIA  
 Edit:   
 
 The solutions were all good, my problem was that I wanted to get the ID of the element I use the function check for. But after the delay, whatever click was being done, there is no "memory" of it, so the rest of the work is not executed.  
  document.onclick = makeDelayedHandler (check, 1000);   
 The code that is working (does not work in IE6). // "Handling Time" function handler function "f" by MS "Handlehead" (F, Time) {return function (E) {var ev = e || Window.event; SetTimeout (function () {f (ev);}, time); }; } Function check (e) {var click = (e & amp; e.target) || (Event & amp; event. SrcElement); . . .  
 
 Thank you all. 
 
 UPDATE: Kenbeck's solution works for IE 6.
