Hiding a layer when clicking anywhere on page except the layer

Question

$(\'body\').click(function() {
//hide layer code here
});

This will hide the layer.

But I don\'t want the layer to be hidden when I click insid

Answer 1

I think the more elegant way is this:

$('body').click(function(event) {
// hide layer code here
});
$('#layer').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
