Question

Suppose I have one div in my page. how to detect the user click on div content or outside of div content through JavaScript or JQuery. please help with small code snippet. t

Answer 1

This question can be answered with X and Y coordinates and without JQuery:

       var isPointerEventInsideElement = function (event, element) {
            var pos = {
                x: event.targetTouches ? event.targetTouches[0].pageX : event.pageX,
                y: event.targetTouches ? event.targetTouches[0].pageY : event.pageY
            };
            var rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
            return  pos.x < rect.right && pos.x > rect.left && pos.y < rect.bottom && pos.y > rect.top;
        };

        document.querySelector('#my-element').addEventListener('click', function (event) {
           console.log(isPointerEventInsideElement(event, document.querySelector('#my-any-child-element')))
        });
