jQuery click off element event

Question

I have a floating div that gets displayed, and I want it to be hidden when the user clicks off the div. This would be similar to the .hover() function callback when hoverin

Answer 1

If you want to clear the div when you click somewhere else in the page, you can do something like:

$('body').click(function(event) {
    if (!$(event.target).closest('#myDiv').length) {
        $('#myDiv').hide();
    };
});
