$(document).ready(function() {
	$('.modal-container').on('click', function(e) {
	  if(e.target == $(this)[0]) {
		$(this).removeClass('active'); // or hide()
	  }
	});
});

.modal-container {
	display: none;
	justify-content: center;
	align-items: center;
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
	right: 0;
	bottom: 0;
	background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
	z-index: 999;
}

.modal-container.active {
    display: flex;  
}

.modal {
	width: 50%;
	height: auto;
	margin: 20px;
	padding: 20px;
	background-color: #fff;
}
