jQuery: Hide popup if click detected elsewhere

Question

I\'m trying to hide a div if the user clicks anywhere BUT the popup OR its children. This is the code I have so far:

$(\"body\").click(function(){
    var $t         


        

Answer 1

Brush up on your boolean logic! :)

if(!$target.is(".popup") && !$target.parents().is(".popup"))

Answer 2

Do this:

$(document).click(function (e) {
    // show_alerts is the class of the link to display the popup
    if (!$(e.target).parents().andSelf().is('.show_alerts')) {
        // hide your popup
    }
});

Answer 3

$("body").click(function(event ){
            var $target = $(event.target);
            if(!$target.parents().is(".popup") && !$target.is(".popup")){
                $("body").find(".popup").hide();
            }
        });

this is the solution for me

Here is the code snippet which may help for a html structure

<script>
jQuery(document).click(function() {
        jQuery(".main-div-class .content").css("display","none");
    });

    jQuery(".main-div-class .content").click(function (e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        //do redirect or any other action on the content
    });     
    jQuery(".main-div-class h4").click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        jQuery(this).parent().find(".content").show();
    });
</script>
<div class="main-div-class">
<h4>click here</h4>
<div class='content'>to show content here like this "<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2329816/jquery-hide-popup-if-click-detected-elsewhere#new-answer">Click</a>" or any other type of content</div>
</div>

Answer 5

Here's a potential solution for certain situations. The popup must have tabindex set for this to work and cannot have any "focusable" elements inside.

$('a').click(function() {
    $('.popup').show().focus();
});
$('.popup').blur(function() {
    $(this).hide();
});

We are using this to show a popup on click and then hide it once you click the same button again or click outside.

function togglePopup(){
  var selector = '#popup',
    $popup = $(selector),
    callback = function(e) {
      if (!$(e.target).parents().andSelf().is(selector)) {
        $popup.hide();
        $(document).off('click', callback);
      }
    };

  $popup.toggle();
  if ($popup.is(':visible')) {
    $(document).on('click', callback);
  }
  return false;
}
