Use jQuery to hide a DIV when the user clicks outside of it

Question

I am using this code:

$(\'body\').click(function() {
   $(\'.form_wrapper\').hide();
});

$(\'.form_wrapper\').click(function(event){
   event.stopPropagatio         


        

Answer 1

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

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