Click outside menu to close it

Here's my function,
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.a').click(function () {
var here = $(this).next('.b');
if (here.is(":visible")) {
here.hide();
} else {
here.show();
}
return false;
});
});
So, whenever I click the button it opens a small tab on same webpage & whenever I click it again it closes it. But once I open the tab I can't close it by just clicking somewhere on webpage apart from tab. I have to click the button again to close it.
How can I close tab just by clicking somewhere on webpage also by on the button?

I end up searching for this on almost every project, so I made this plugin:
jQuery.fn.clickOutside = function(callback){
var $me = this;
$(document).mouseup(function(e) {
if ( !$me.is(e.target) && $me.has(e.target).length === 0 ) {
callback.apply($me);
}
});
};
It takes a callback function and passes your original selector, so you can do this:
$('[selector]').clickOutside(function(){
$(this).removeClass('active'); // or `$(this).hide()`, if you must
});
Nice, chainable, elegant code.

On document click, the closest helps to check whether the tab has been clicked or not:
$(document).click(function (e) {
if($('.b').is(':visible')&&!$(e.target).closest('.b').length){
$('.b').hide();
}
});

You want to check for a click on the body :
$("body").click(function(e) {
if(e.target.id !== 'menu'){
$("#menu").hide();
}
});
menu would be the id of the menu.
If the body is clicked and the id of the div clicked doesn't equal that of the menu, then it closes.

Check this implementation
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('click','body, #btn',function(ev){
ev.stopPropagation()
if(ev.target.id== "btn"){
if($('#modal').is(':visible')) {
$('#modal').fadeOut();
} else{
$('#modal').fadeIn();
}
} else {
$('#modal').fadeOut();
}
});
});
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="btn">
Click Me!
</button>
<div id="modal" style="background-color:red;display:none;">
BLA BLA BLA
</div>

To check if the clicked element is outside of a given container, i.e. a menu, we can simply check if the event target is a child of the container. Using JQuery -
$('body').click(function(e) {
if ( 0 === $(e.target).parents('#container-id').length ) {
/// clicked outside -> do action
}
})

you have to add a click listener to the parent element, like here:
$('.parent-div').click(function() {
//Hide the menus if visible
});
Also because click events bubbled up from child to the parent,
you can exclude the click on the child element to get bubbled up and count as the parent click too. you can achieve this like below:
//disable click event on child element
$('.child-div').click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
});

Clickoutside event doen't work on iframe

It's a rich-text editor,there is a div show the content users typed in, just like this:
<div class=‘content’>
<iframe data-role=text-editable.></iframe>
</div>
When i click a icon who's used to call the color panel，the panel will show.And i wish when i click outside the panel,it will be hide.so my code is:
var color_panel = $('.color-panel');
color_panel.on("clickoutside", function (e) {
var t = $(e.target);
if ($.contains(color_panel[0], t[0]))
return;
color_panel.hide();
})
It works well when i click outside the panel will disappear except i click the iframe.when i click the ifame,nothing happens,the panel is still shown,
Help......i want to know the reason .please...is the ifame not the dom element outside the panel?

You can listen for outside clicks by listening for clicks on the body element of the webpage (so, clicking on anything element) and then you can exclude your .color_panel from this event by making another event that says "when I get clicked on, ignore any other clicks". The effect will be exactly what you want, that you can listen for outside clicks:
var panelOpen = false;
$('body').click(function(event) {
if (panelOpen) {
panelOpen = false;
color_panel.hide();
}
});
$('.color_panel').click(function(event) {
panelOpen = true;
//callYourMethodToShowThePanelHere();
e.preventDefault(); // these methods will stop the body click event
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
});

Hide div when user clicks outside unless closing lightbox

I'm currently using the following code to allow a user to show/hide a div on click.
When clicking anywhere outside of the div, it closes the div.
However, there is a link within the div which can open a lightbox. When a user goes to close that lightbox, it also closes the div that the link was contained. Is there anything I can add into the script to stop that from happening?
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a.dropdown-link").click(function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
var $div = $(this).next('.info-container');
$(".info-container").not($div).slideUp();
if ($div.is(":visible")) {
$div.slideUp()
} else {
$div.slideDown();
}
});
$(document).click(function(e){
var p = $(e.target).closest('.dropdown').length
if (!p) {
$(".info-container").slideUp();
}
});
$('.movie-link').magnificPopup({type:'iframe'});
});
<a class="dropdown-link" href="#"><div class="dropdown dropdown-processed">More info</div></a>
<div class="info-container" style="display: none;">Video preview: <a class="movie-link" href="videourl"></a></div>
I'm using Magnific Popup for the lightbox: http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/
My JavaScript knowledge is pretty basic so any help is appreciated.

In the "click to close div function, you can check if the lightbox is on or not. A simple if ($("#lightbox").css("display") == "none") should be able to do the trick
EDIT: put this line after the $(document).ready line
var state = 0; // default state
$('.movie-link').click(function() { state = 1; }); // state = 1, lightbox on
in the source code, on line 384, insert this code
state = 2; //state = 2, lightbox close button clicked
the idea is not firing the "close div" function when the state is 1 (lightbox is on and clicking random stuffs inside, or outside the lightbox) or 2 (lightbox's close button got clicked), and return state to 0 when it was 2
so instead of the if I provided in the comment use this
if (state == 2) {
state = 0;
} else if (state == 0) {
//rest of the code
}
this is just something I put together and haven't tested yet, so I don't actually know if it works or not so just back up your js files just in case.
EDIT 2:
remove all the changes in edit 1 and use this on instead of the if (state == 2) {
if (e.target != $('.mfp-bg')[0] and e.target != $('.mfp-wrap')[0]) {
EDIT 3
var e_class = $(e.target).attr('class');
if (e_class != 'mfp-close' && e_class != 'mfp-container') {
working example: http://imgcrash.comeze.com/test.html

I'm not 100% without actually testing this out but you may be running into issues with $(document).click(...); since clicking anywhere on the document would trigger this event.
When you close the popup you're probably triggering this event and sliding up the info-container div.
It seems that you're looking for clicks on the divs with the class .dropdown. Why not use something like:
$('.dropdown').click(function(e) { ... });

Try this:
$("a.dropdown-link").click(function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
evt.stopPropagation(); //We stop the propagation of the event
//Changed it to slideToggle and added stop to prevent weird animation
//on multiple clicks
$(this).next('.info-container').stop().slideToggle()
});
$(document).click(function(e){
//Check if it has the class info-container
if (!$(e.target).hasClass("info-container")) {
$(".info-container").slideUp();
}
});
$('.movie-link').magnificPopup({type:'iframe'});

jQuery slideToggle breaking when you press a link inside a div

I have having a little trouble with the slideToggle when I have a link inside of the slideup panel. What I am trying to do is have the ability to press a button and a div will slide up and display related posts and once you press another or the related project button on the page it will close the toggle and reveal another effect that I am using (100% width and heigh popup). The script I am using works perfect but I am running into one problem. When I click a related post inside of the slideToggle it causes the div to slide down instead of going to the page that represents the link.
Here is my code below and an example http://jsfiddle.net/K8vBg/15/.
$(document).ready(function(){
// build a variable to target the #menu div
var menu = $('#menu')
// bind a click function to the menu-trigger
$('#menu-trigger').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
// if the menu is visible slide it up
if (menu.is(":visible"))
{
menu.slideUp(1000);
}
// otherwise, slide the menu down
else
{
menu.slideDown(400);
}
});
$(document).not('.projectHolder-small,#projectSpecs').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if (menu.is(":visible"))
{
menu.slideUp(400);
}
});
})
If I change .projectHolder-small,#projectSpecs in the .not function to just read #menu then I am able to click the link inside of the panel but the panel will not slideDown when I click another button on the page. The popup from #project specs will just go over the panel instead of closing it.
Is there something I am missing in my script?
Thank you

Try changing the $(document).not().click() to:
$(document).click(function(event){
if(!$(event.target).closest('.projectHolder-small,#projectSpecs').length){
if (menu.is(":visible")){
menu.slideUp(400);
}
}
});
I am using closest() instead of the usual is(), so that even clicking on the children elements of '.projectHolder-small,#projectSpecs' the panel won't close.

I rewrote the script to the following and it works perfect
$(document).ready(function () {
var $frm = $('#menu').hide();
var $bts = $("#menu-trigger").on('click', function () {
var $this = $(this)
$bts.filter(".selected").not(this).removeClass('selected');
$this.toggleClass('selected');
if ($this.hasClass('selected') && $frm.is(':visible')) {
$frm.stop(true, true).slideUp(function () {
$(this).slideDown()
});
} else {
$frm.stop(true, true).slideToggle();
}
});
$bts.filter('.selected').click();
$("#projectSpecs, #menuButton").click(function () {
$bts.filter(".selected").removeClass('selected');
$frm.slideUp();
});
});

How to bind an event to Tabbing Off an element?

I'm using the following for a dropdown:
/* recurse through dropdown menus */
$('.dropdown').each(function() {
/* track elements: menu, parent */
var dropdown = $(this);
var menu = dropdown.next('div.dropdown-menu'), parent = dropdown.parent();
/* function that shows THIS menu */
var showMenu = function() {
hideMenu();
showingDropdown = dropdown.addClass('dropdown-active');
showingMenu = menu.show();
showingParent = parent;
};
/* function to show menu when clicked */
dropdown.bind('click',function(e) {
if(e) e.stopPropagation();
if(e) e.preventDefault();
showMenu();
});
/* function to show menu when someone tabs to the box */
dropdown.bind('focus',function() {
showMenu();
});
});
/* hide when clicked outside */
$(document.body).bind('click',function(e) {
if(showingParent) {
var parentElement = showingParent[0];
if(!$.contains(parentElement,e.target) || !parentElement == e.target) {
hideMenu();
}
}
});
Notice:
$(document.body).bind('click',function(e) {
The problem is that the dropdown opens on click or when you tab to it. But it only closes on click, not when you tab out.
How can I bind an event to mean "tabbing out" ,losing focus, so the dropdown closes?
Thanks

You could trigger a click outside when you press the tab key. Like this:
$('#your_dropdown').bind('keydown', function(e) {
var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (keyCode == 9) { //If it's the tab key
$("body").click(); //Force a click outside the dropdown, so it forces a close
}
});
Hope this helps. Cheers

Try the blur event, which will be triggered when the control loses focus (i.e., when the user clicks outside the control or uses the keyboard to tab to the next control).
Put something like this just after your existing focus binding:
dropdown.bind('blur',function() {
// whatever tests you want
hideMenu();
});
(You shouldn't then need the separate click binding that you're currently using to hide the menu.)
P.S. You might also consider focusout, which is similar to blur except that it bubbles.

Seems like you're looking for the onblur event?
