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

Here's a full-fledged event-driven approach

• Custom events handle the "summoning" and "dismissing" of the layer as to not step on the toes of other click-based events
• document.body listens to for a dismiss event only when the layer in question is actually visible

Zee code:

test
Show div

It's a lot of code I know, but here just to show a different approach.
