How to completely DISABLE any MOUSE CLICK

After the user clicks on...."log in" button, and other events, I made a loading script -to let users know they have to wait (Until ajax replies back).

How can I DISABLE any MOUSE CLICKS (right click, left click, double click, middle click, x click), on div id="doc"?
I want to add that code to loading.js

HTML

<html>
...
<body>
<div id="doc">
   <div id="content">
   ...
   <input type="button" value="Login" id="login" />
   ...
   </div id="content">
</div id="doc">
</body>
</html>

loading.js

function load_bar(x)
{
    if (x==0)
    {
    $(document.body).css( {"cursor": "default"} );
    $("body").css( {"cursor": "default"} );
    $("#loading").css("visibility", "hidden"); //modal window
//  $("#doc").....ENABLE all clicks (left/right/etc)
    }

    else if (x==1)
    {
    $(document.body).css( {"cursor": "wait"} );
    $("body").css( {"cursor": "wait"} );
    $("#loading").css( {"visibility": "visible"} ); //modal window
//  $("#doc").....DISABLE all clicks (left/right/etc)
    }

    else
    {
    return alert("Wrong argument!");
    }
}

jQuery

$(document).ready(function()
{
//AJAX
$("#login").click(function()
{
    load_bar(1); //DISABLE clicks and show load_bar
    $(":input").attr("disabled", true);


$.post( 
    ...
    function(data)
    {
    ...
    load_bar(0); //ENABLE clicks and hide load_bar
    ...
    } //END: if:else
}); //END:$.post
    ...
}); //END:ajax
}); //END:jQuery

You can add a simple css3 rule in the body or in specific div, use pointer-events: none; property.

You can overlay a big, semi-transparent <div> that takes all the clicks. Just append a new <div> to <body> with this style:

.overlay {
    background-color: rgba(1, 1, 1, 0.7);
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    position: fixed;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
}

To disable all mouse click

var event = $(document).click(function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    return false;
});

// disable right click
$(document).bind('contextmenu', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    return false;
});

to enable it again:

$(document).unbind('click');
$(document).unbind('contextmenu');

something like:

    $('#doc').click(function(e){
       e.preventDefault()
       e.stopImmediatePropagation() //charles ma is right about that, but stopPropagation isn't also needed
});

should do the job you could also bind more mouse events with replacing for: edit: add this in the feezing part

    $('#doc').bind('click mousedown dblclick',function(e){
       e.preventDefault()
       e.stopImmediatePropagation()
});

and this in the unfreezing:

  $('#doc').unbind();
