By using this code you can hide as many items as you want

var boxArray = ["first element's id","second element's id","nth element's id"];
   window.addEventListener('mouseup', function(event){
   for(var i=0; i < boxArray.length; i++){
    var box = document.getElementById(boxArray[i]);
    if(event.target != box && event.target.parentNode != box){
        box.style.display = 'none';
    }
   }
})

$(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;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="modal-container active">
	<div class="modal">
		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean ac varius purus. Ut consectetur viverra nibh nec maximus. Nam luctus ligula quis arcu accumsan euismod. Pellentesque imperdiet volutpat mi et cursus. Sed consectetur sed tellus ut finibus. Suspendisse porttitor laoreet lobortis. Nam ut blandit metus, ut interdum purus.</p>

</div>

Answer 4

dojo.query(document.body).connect('mouseup',function (e)
{
    var obj = dojo.position(dojo.query('div#divselector')[0]);
    if (!((e.clientX > obj.x && e.clientX <(obj.x+obj.w)) && (e.clientY > obj.y && e.clientY <(obj.y+obj.h))) ){
        MyDive.Hide(id);
    }
});

Answer 5

 $('body').click(function(event) {
    if (!$(event.target).is('p'))
    {
        $("#e2ma-menu").hide();
    }
});

p is the element name. Where one can pass the id or class or element name also.

Live demo with ESC functionality

Works on both Desktop and Mobile

var notH = 1,
    $pop = $('.form_wrapper').hover(function(){ notH^=1; });

$(document).on('mousedown keydown', function( e ){
  if(notH||e.which==27) $pop.hide();
});

_{If for some case you need to be sure that your element is really visible when you do clicks on the document: if($pop.is(':visible') && (notH||e.which==27)) $pop.hide();}
