Close a menu with an anywhere click

Question

As you guys can see, I have a drop down menu.

I have a lot of columns, each one has an option to open the menu.

$(\".optionCont\").live(\"click\", fu         


        

Answer 1

$('body').bind("click",function (){
    $(".dropMenuCont").slideUp();
});
$('.dropMenuCont').click(function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
});

I think a better idea to check if something is hidden is to toggle the class on your menu in a callback of the animation and then check it with hasClass.
