How to make this area display: none?

I'm making a web application. First see this image:
Now, you can see the area outlined by yellow line. The list with white background is dynamic (It is displayed when something is typed in search bar). Now what I want is when I click anywhere out of this area (Search input field + List), the list should be display: none. I've tried a few things but for that I had to write a lot of code as I did this for different divs separately.
Also, I don't want to paste the whole code here as it is too long. So I'm just providing you HTML to get an idea of this picture.
<header>
<div id="headerdiv">
<div class="headerlogo"><img src="#" alt="Passwords"></div>
<div class="quit"><img src="#" alt="Quit"></div>
</div>
</header>
<div id="functions">
<div id="funcLeft">
<div id="addbuttonwrap"><input class="addbutton" type="button" value=" + ADD"></div>
<div class="heading1">Your saved passwords</div>
<input class="funcbutton" type="button" value="EMAIL">
<input class="funcbutton" type="button" value="CAREER">
<input class="funcbutton" type="button" value="SOCIAL">
<input class="funcbutton" type="button" value="OTHER">
</div>
<div id="funcRight">
<div id="search">
<form name="searchform" method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="searchinput" placeholder="Enter any keyword">
</form>
</div>
<div class="heading1 heading2">GUIDELINES</div>
<div class="slides">
<!--CONTENT-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<footer>
<div id="footer">

NOTE: While writing answer, you can assume any TAG Name/class/ID etc. for any element as code is not sufficient. I just want to know what to do.

You want to hide the search when someone clicks away, you can do this with Javascript with a onclick event.
var elementToHide = document.getElementById("searchElement");
window.onclick = function(e){
if(e.target != elementToHide){
elementToHide.style.display = "none";
}
}
This will hide the element contained in elementToHide (can be any element in the DOM) when the user clicks on an element which is not this one.
The variable e contains the click event of which we check the target element in the if
Hope it helps

$(document).on("click", function(e) {
if(e.target.className != "search_element"){
$("#element_list").hide();
}
});
you can try this.

i think you are looking for a js free solution (or easiest approach). I would personally recommend using + and :focus operator from css
.search-with-submenu{
.submenu{
display: none;
}
input[type=search]:focus + .submenu{
display: block;
}
}

On click not working after appending checkbox elements in jquery

The contact_container div holds contact children, within these children is a checkbox. I use ajax to append these children to the container. Once I append the html and click a childs checkbox. The .click does not recognize the newly added checkboxes, Only the children work on page load. Below are working samples of my HTML and Jquery.
Can you offer a solution so that the appended checkboxes are picked up when they are clicked? Thanks
Here is my HTML markup:
<div id="contact_container">
<div class="contact">
<div class="contact_checkbox">
<div class="checkbox_container">
<div class="checkbox">
<input class="testing_checkbox" type="checkbox" name="contacts[]" value="bf6b0049059ec8998601f8fe20acb68ecafe2d44">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="contact_info">
<div class="contact_image">
<img src="image.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="Profile Picture">
</div>
<div class="contact_name"><span>Caroline Airey</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="x_message" class="inputdata" style="overflow: hidden; display: none;">
<label>Message:</label>
<span><textarea name="x_message" placeholder="Enter a message to send to your contact(s)"></textarea></span>
<div class="clear"></div>
<button class="form_button">Add Contact to Network</button>
</div>
Here is my Jquery:
$( ".checkbox" ).click(function() {
var checked = $('.testing_checkbox:checked').length;
$('#testing').val(checked);
if (checked > 0){
$('#x_message').show(1000);
}
else{
$('#x_message').hide(1000);
}
});

You will need the Parent reference to bind the element properly to jquery try this
$(parentObj).on("click",".checkbox",function() {
var checked = $('.testing_checkbox:checked').length;
$('#testing').val(checked);
if (checked > 0){
$('#x_message').show(1000);
}
else{
$('#x_message').hide(1000);
}
});
The parentObj is the div or the html element you've appended the html code with ajax call

Use this jQuery method instead:
$(".checkbox").on("click", function()
{
// Your code here
});
This will grab clicks from elements that are dynamically added to your page after it initially loads :)

How to display div with JavaScript depending on which image is clicked

I wish to display certain divs inside a main div dependent on which image is clicked. With out any decent knoweldge of Js or Jquery, I fail to do this without some assistance.
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="prod">
<div id="images">
<img id="one" src="http://lorempixel.com/200/200/">
<img id="two" src="http://lorempixel.com/201/200/ ">
<img id="three" src="http://lorempixel.com/203/200/ ">
<img id="four" src="http://lorempixel.com/204/200/ ">
</div>
</form>
<div id="description">
</div>
<div class="one">Brilliant</div>
<div class="two">Super</div>
<div class="tree">Amazing</div>
<div class="four">Excellent</div>
If the image which has id="one" is clicked, then display <div class="one">Brilliant</div> inside of the description div. Then ofcause if the second image is clicked, then display the the 'super' div inside the description div. I'd like to not have the descriptions visible until clicked, and only one div at a time to be shown.
The images are apart of a form because I need to forward the value of the id on the images to a variable.
Here is the script that does that.
$('#images').delegate('img', 'click', function () {
var $this = $(this);
// Clear formatting
$('#images img').removeClass('border-highlight');
// Highlight with coloured border
$this.addClass('border-highlight');
// Changes the value of the form field prod to the file name shown in the image.
$('[name="prod"]').val($this.attr('id').substring($this.attr('id').lastIndexOf('-') + 1));
//Alert for debugging simplicity
alert($('[name="prod"]').val());
});
Perhaps a function can be implemented into the current script?
Here is a fiddle, and it will all make sense of what I have as a whole currently.

Check out this fidde
You just need to add:
$('#description').html($('.' + $this.attr('id')).html());
At the bottom of your onclick function.
** You have a typo on the 3rd div with text(tree instead of three).

You can make it bit simple by adding the divs for description in div as I see no need to put the divs for description outside the description div and later adding it. You will need to hide all the divs we have in description div and show the one that is related to img being clicked.

How to select div whith jquery from inside another div

so I have this html:
<div>
<div>
<a class="member-img" href="#" >
<img src="image.jpg" alt="member">
</a>
</div>
<div class="member-bar">
</div>
</div>
and i try to select "member-bar" when the user hovers "member-img"
$('.member-img').hover(function(){ $(this).closest(".member-bar").slideDown() });
but it doesn't seem to work, any help for this code ?

member-bar would need to be a parent of member-img in order for that to work. You need to first find the parent, then find member-bar as a sibling:
$(".member-img").hover(function() {
$(this).parent().next(".member-bar").slideDown();
});
Here's a fiddle for the above code

.js show hide hidden div within hidden div

Thank you in advance for your help! It's my first post, wasn't sure about the formatting so I hope I've done it correctly.
I'd like to know if I can show/hide hidden Nested divs using the following script taken from http://www.huntingground.freeserve.co.uk/main/mainfram.htm?../style/lyr_swap.htm:
<script type="text/javascript">
function swapLyr(num) {
idCount=0
while(document.getElementById("mydiv"+idCount)){
el=document.getElementById("mydiv"+idCount)
if(idCount != num){
el.style.display="none"
}
else{
el.style.display="block"
}
idCount++
}
}
</script>
<ul>
<li onclick="swapLyr(0)">Show Green</li>
<li onclick="swapLyr(1)">Show Yellow</li>
<li onclick="swapLyr(2)">Show Red</li>
<li onclick="swapLyr(3)">Show Blue</li>
</ul>
<div id="mydiv0" style="display:none;background-color:#00AA00;width:350px; height:260px">Green</div>
<div id="mydiv1" style="display:none;background-color:#AAAA00;width:350px; height:260px">Yellow</div>
<div id="mydiv2" style="display:none;background-color:#AA0000;width:350px; height:260px">Red</div>
<div id="mydiv3" style="display:none;background-color:#0000AA;width:350px; height:260px">Blue</div>
I would like to use something like:
<div id="mydiv3" style="display:none;background-color:#0000AA;width:350px; height:260px">Blue<br /><br />
<a href="#null" onclick="swapLyr(5)">Show Hidden Div within this Div</li>
<div id="mydiv5" style="display:none;background-color:#FFF;width:300px; height:210px">Hidden Div Within "Blue" div</div>
</div>

i see it know. use this:
<div id="mydiv3" style="background-color:#0000AA;width:350px; height:260px">Blue<br /><br />
Show Hidden Div within this Div
<div id="mydiv5" style="display:none;background-color:#FFF;width:300px; height:210px">Hidden Div Within "Blue" div</div>
</div>
<script>
function swapLyr(num) {
el=document.getElementById("mydiv"+num);
if(el.style.display=="none"){
el.style.display="block";
}else{
el.style.display="none";
}
}
</script>
