I think just adding one line to the handler would do the trick (also
add the "ev" argument to the function):

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("*", document.body).click(function(ev) {
    var index = $("*", document.body).index(this);
    $("*:eq(" + index + ")", document.body).css("color", "red");
    ev.stopPropagation();
  });
});
