Use jQuery to hide a DIV when the user clicks outside of it
JqueryHtmlHideStylingJquery Problem Overview
I am using this code:
$('body').click(function() {
$('.form_wrapper').hide();
});
$('.form_wrapper').click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
});
And this HTML:
<div class="form_wrapper">
<a class="agree" href="javascript:;">I Agree</a>
<a class="disagree" href="javascript:;">Disagree</a>
</div>
The problem is that I have links inside the div and when they no longer work when clicked.
Jquery Solutions
Solution 1 - Jquery
Had the same problem, came up with this easy solution. It's even working recursive:
$(document).mouseup(function(e)
{
var container = $("YOUR CONTAINER SELECTOR");
// if the target of the click isn't the container nor a descendant of the container
if (!container.is(e.target) && container.has(e.target).length === 0)
{
container.hide();
}
});
Solution 2 - Jquery
You'd better go with something like this:
var mouse_is_inside = false;
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('.form_content').hover(function(){
mouse_is_inside=true;
}, function(){
mouse_is_inside=false;
});
$("body").mouseup(function(){
if(! mouse_is_inside) $('.form_wrapper').hide();
});
});
Solution 3 - Jquery
This code detects any click event on the page and then hides the #CONTAINER element if and only if the element clicked was neither the #CONTAINER element nor one of its descendants.
$(document).on('click', function (e) {
if ($(e.target).closest("#CONTAINER").length === 0) {
$("#CONTAINER").hide();
}
});
Solution 4 - Jquery
You might want to check the target of the click event that fires for the body instead of relying on stopPropagation.
Something like:
$("body").click
(
function(e)
{
if(e.target.className !== "form_wrapper")
{
$(".form_wrapper").hide();
}
}
);
Also, the body element may not include the entire visual space shown in the browser. If you notice that your clicks are not registering, you may need to add the click handler for the HTML element instead.
Solution 5 - Jquery
Check click area is not in the targeted element or in it's child
$(document).click(function (e) {
if ($(e.target).parents(".dropdown").length === 0) {
$(".dropdown").hide();
}
});
UPDATE:
jQuery stop propagation is the best solution
$(".button").click(function(e){
$(".dropdown").show();
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(".dropdown").click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).click(function(){
$(".dropdown").hide();
});
Solution 6 - Jquery
$(document).click(function(event) {
if ( !$(event.target).hasClass('form_wrapper')) {
$(".form_wrapper").hide();
}
});
Solution 7 - Jquery
A solution without jQuery for the most popular answer:
document.addEventListener('mouseup', function (e) {
var container = document.getElementById('your container ID');
if (!container.contains(e.target)) {
container.style.display = 'none';
}
}.bind(this));

Solution 8 - Jquery
Updated the solution to:
- use mouseenter and mouseleave instead
- of hover use live event binding
var mouseOverActiveElement = false;
$('.active').live('mouseenter', function(){
mouseOverActiveElement = true;
}).live('mouseleave', function(){
mouseOverActiveElement = false;
});
$("html").click(function(){
if (!mouseOverActiveElement) {
console.log('clicked outside active element');
}
});
Solution 9 - Jquery
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();
Solution 10 - Jquery
Wouldn't something like this work?
$("body *").not(".form_wrapper").click(function() {
});
or
$("body *:not(.form_wrapper)").click(function() {
});
Solution 11 - Jquery
Instead of listening to every single click on the DOM to hide one specific element, you could set tabindex to the parent <div> and listen to the focusout events.
Setting tabindex will make sure that the blur event is fired on the <div> (normally it wouldn't).
So your HTML would look like:
<div class="form_wrapper" tabindex="0">
<a class="agree" href="javascript:;">I Agree</a>
<a class="disagree" href="javascript:;">Disagree</a>
</div>
And your JS:
$('.form_wrapper').on('focusout', function(event){
$('.form_wrapper').hide();
});
Solution 12 - Jquery
Even sleaker:
$("html").click(function(){
$(".wrapper:visible").hide();
});
Solution 13 - Jquery
So many answers, must be a right of passage to have added one... I didn't see a current (jQuery 3.1.1) answers - so:
$(function() {
$('body').on('mouseup', function() {
$('#your-selector').hide();
});
});
Solution 14 - Jquery
Here's a jsfiddle I found on another thread, works with esc key also: http://jsfiddle.net/S5ftb/404
var button = $('#open')[0]
var el = $('#test')[0]
$(button).on('click', function(e) {
$(el).show()
e.stopPropagation()
})
$(document).on('click', function(e) {
if ($(e.target).closest(el).length === 0) {
$(el).hide()
}
})
$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode === 27) {
$(el).hide()
}
})

And for Touch devices like IPAD and IPHONE we can use following code
$(document).on('touchstart', function (event) {
var container = $("YOUR CONTAINER SELECTOR");
if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
container.hide();
}
});
Solution 16 - Jquery
(Just adding on to prc322's answer.)
In my case I'm using this code to hide a navigation menu that appears when the user clicks an appropriate tab. I found it was useful to add an extra condition, that the target of the click outside the container is not a link.
$(document).mouseup(function (e)
{
var container = $("YOUR CONTAINER SELECTOR");
if (!$("a").is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't a link ...
&& !container.is(e.target) // ... or the container ...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... or a descendant of the container
{
container.hide();
}
});
This is because some of the links on my site add new content to the page. If this new content is added at the same time that the navigation menu disappears it might be disorientating for the user.
Solution 17 - Jquery
Built off of prc322's awesome answer.
function hideContainerOnMouseClickOut(selector, callback) {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments); // Save/convert arguments to array since we won't be able to access these within .on()
$(document).on("mouseup.clickOFF touchend.clickOFF", function (e) {
var container = $(selector);
if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
container.hide();
$(document).off("mouseup.clickOFF touchend.clickOFF");
if (callback) callback.apply(this, args);
}
});
}
This adds a couple things...
- Placed within a function with a callback with "unlimited" args
- Added a call to jquery's .off() paired with a event namespace to unbind the event from the document once it's been run.
- Included touchend for mobile functionality
I hope this helps someone!

if you have trouble with ios, mouseup is not working on apple device.
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3303469/does-mousedown-mouseup-in-jquery-work-for-the-ipad>
i use this:

var container = $("YOURCONTAINER");
if (container.has(e.target).length === 0)
{
container.hide();
}
});
Solution 19 - Jquery
var n = 0;
$("#container").mouseenter(function() {

}
});
Solution 20 - Jquery
$('body').click(function(event) {
if (!$(event.target).is('p'))
{
$("#e2ma-menu").hide();
}
});
p is the element name. Where one can pass the id or class or element name also.

Return false if you click on .form_wrapper:
$('body').click(function() {
$('.form_wrapper').click(function(){
return false
});
$('.form_wrapper').hide();
});
//$('.form_wrapper').click(function(event){
// event.stopPropagation();
//});
Solution 23 - Jquery
Attach a click event to top level elements outside the form wrapper, for example:
$('#header, #content, #footer').click(function(){
$('.form_wrapper').hide();
});
This will also work on touch devices, just make sure you don't include a parent of .form_wrapper in your list of selectors.

What you can do is bind a click event to the document that will hide the dropdown if something outside the dropdown is clicked, but won't hide it if something inside the dropdown is clicked, so your "show" event (or slidedown or whatever shows the dropdown)
$('.form_wrapper').show(function(){
$(document).bind('click', function (e) {
var clicked = $(e.target);
if (!clicked.parents().hasClass("class-of-dropdown-container")) {
$('.form_wrapper').hide();
}
});
});
Then when hiding it, unbind the click event
$(document).unbind('click');

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';
}
}
})

According to the docs, .blur() works for more than the <input> tag. For example:
$('.form_wrapper').blur(function(){
$(this).hide();
});

You might encounter some issues when using the accepted answer with pop-up windows. There might be a case where clicking on a random place might result in unwanted actions, i.e. clicking on a button by mistake might take you to a new page.
I am not sure if this is the most efficient solution but to prevent this I would suggest using a screenmask. Make sure the screenmask is right below the <body> tag so that it can cover all the screen by width:100%; height: 100%. Also note that it is above all elements by z-index: 99. If you want another item or div to be clickable when the screenmask is active, just assign a higher z-index to that item or div.
The screenmask is initially not-displayed (displayed:none) and it calls a hide function when clicked (onclick="hidemenu()").
<body>
<div class="screenmask" onclick="hidemenu()" style="position:fixed; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0px; right: 0px; display: none; z-index: 99;"></div>
The javascript functions to deal with "multiple distinct pop-up menus on the same page" might be like the ones below:
<script>
// an element with onclick="showmenu('id_here')" pops a menu in the screen
function showmenu(id) {
var popmenu = document.getElementById(id); // assume popmenu is of class .cardmenu
$('.cardmenu').hide(); // clear the screen from other popmenus first
$(popmenu).show(); // pop the desired specific menu
$('.screenmask').show(); // activate screenmask
}
function hidemenu() { // called when clicked on the screenmask
$('.cardmenu').hide(); // clear the screen from all the popmenus
$('.screenmask').hide(); // deactivate screenmask
}
</script>

Toggle for regular and touch devices
I read some answers here a while back and created some code I use for div's that function as popup bubbles.
$('#openPopupBubble').click(function(){
$('#popupBubble').toggle();
if($('#popupBubble').css('display') === 'block'){
$(document).bind('mousedown touchstart', function(e){
if($('#openPopupBubble').is(e.target) || $('#openPopupBubble').find('*').is(e.target)){
$(this).unbind(e);
}
else if(!$('#popupBubble').find('*').is(e.target)){
$('#popupBubble').hide();
$(this).unbind(e);
}
});
}
});
You can also make this more abstract using classes and select the correct popup bubble based on the button that triggered the click event.
$('body').on('click', '.openPopupBubble', function(){
$(this).next('.popupBubble').toggle();
if($(this).next('.popupBubble').css('display') === 'block'){
$(document).bind('mousedown touchstart', function(e){
if($(this).is(e.target) || $(this).find('*').is(e.target)){
$(this).unbind(e);
}
else if(!$(this).next('.popupBubble').find('*').is(e.target)){
$(this).next('.popupBubble').hide();
$(this).unbind(e);
}
});
}
});

This solution should work fine, it's easy :
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
jQuery(document).click(function(event) {
if(typeof jQuery(event.target).attr("class") != "undefined") {
var classnottobeclickforclose = ['donotcountmeforclickclass1', 'donotcountmeforclickclass2','donotcountmeforclickclass3'];
var arresult = jQuery.inArray(jQuery(event.target).attr("class"), classnottobeclickforclose);
if (arresult < 0) {
jQuery(".popup").hide();
}
}
});
});
In Above code change donotcountmeforclickclass1 , donotcountmeforclickclass2 etc with classes which you have used to show popup or on it's click popup should not effect so you have to definitely add class which you are using to open popup.
Change .popup class with popup class.
