jQuery toggle on click out

I have a series of spans (togglers) and a series of divs (toggled). I created a make_toggle function that receives the toggler and its corresponding toggled as arguments.
Everything seems to work kind of ok up to the point where I try to implement a "toggle on click out". What I've tried is to attach to the html click event a function that checks whether the target of the click is contained within the toggled element. On toggle "back", I would then detach the handler so I am only checking when I need.
var check_if_clickingout = function(e) {
if (!toggled[0].contains(e.target)) {
toggle();
}
};
See fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/andinse/65o211nc/11/
It doesn't even seem to work anymore but when it used to, it was triggering many more times than necessary (which was the reason for me to come here ask for help).
What am I doing wrong? What is the most effective way to go about this kind of situation where I am giving functionality to a series of independent DOM elements?

Just putting this out here that this seems to do the same thing.
$("span").click(function() {
$(this).siblings("div").toggleClass("blue");
});
Maybe I am missing something more that I am not seeing in your example.

Right click not displayed on an image

I have a basic issue with an image.
Indeed, I can't make display a right click menu on the image (in order to see it in full display) :
I have just put a :
<img class="center" width="700" height ="381" src="./Image_Init_Scene.png"/>
Maybe the issue comes from other things in my HTML page (like jQuery etc).

It looks like the normal behavior of the contextmenu event is prevented somewhere in your code...
So you can find where it is prevented to remove this "protection"...
Or you can create you own custom context menu.
The event is still triggered, so you can use it.
$(".body_content img.center").on("contextmenu",function(){
console.log("Context menu!");
// Do what ever you want!
});

Context Menu is being interrupted by an event handler somewhere in your code. While searching for event.preventDefault() works, this may be the long way out. Also this may not work if programmer is using return false
The easy way is to set a break point in the Debugger. Chrome offers a context menu breakpoint among others under Event Listener Breakpoints. Pausing the execution on modification will tell you, where the context menu is being manipulated.
For example, in your code, context menu is being used in two places postload.js and orbitcontrols.js. Orbit controls is preventing the context menu action with
function onContextMenu( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
}
scope.domElement.addEventListener( 'contextmenu', onContextMenu, false );
Removing this will restore context menu to original state.

Dropdown plugin closing on scroll bar click

I'm in the process of teaching myself how to write a jQuery plugin. I am using the jquery-hover-dropdown-box as a base example. It's not just copy/paste though, I've made a number of changes trying to get a better understanding of it all. For example I'm not incorporating the hover event, I added a filter, and currently not using any defaults to name a few. Clicking on a div's scroll bar fires the blur event in I.E is the only post I've found with what looks like a good resolution to this and I tried implementing something similar but was unsuccessful.
Complete Example: jsFiddle
Issue:
I click in the input and the dropdown opens but the first time I click on the scroll bar, the dropdown closes. When I open the dropdown a second time and click on the scroll bar, it does not close (as I would expect). From what I can tell, my issue is in the blur on the input. I understand that when I click in the scroll bar, the input has lost focus. I tried to implement something similar to this post on Scrollbars not working on dropdown in IE8 but was unable to get it working.
Steps to Reproduce:
Click in the input to open the dropdown
Click anywhere in the scroll bar and the dropdown closes (should stay open and scroll)
Click in the input a second time and the dropdown opens
Click anywhere in the scroll bar and the dropdown stays open (as it should)
Question:
What am I doing wrong that is causing the dropdown to close only the first time I click on the scroll bar?
What I've Tried:
When I'm appending the ul to the div (currently commented out around line 68 in the jsFiddle), I added the code below. I figured that if I stopped the action from being triggered with a mousedown on the ul it would fix my issue. Although it did fix the issue in Chrome, it persists in IE8.
Update: I changed the code below from $list.mousedown... to $container.mousedown... since $list is the ul and $container is the div that contains it. My thought was that it extend the area. The result was the same though.
...
$container.append($list);
$list.mousedown(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
...
Since this seemed to be close, I tried taking a similar approach in the blur event. The issue explained above happens when I use this code. In Chrome, clicking the scroll bar does not fire the blur event but in IE8, it does. The first time the dropdown is opened and you click in the scroll bar, it logs "hiding". Open the dropdown again and click the scroll bar and it logs "bind mousedown". Click anywhere outside the dropdown and it closes (as it should) and logs "hiding" (as it should). To me it seems backwards, but obviously I'm not understanding it correctly. (The code below is around line 134 in the jsFiddle)
Code edit: Updated with Goran.it suggestion to prevent multiple bindings from happening.
...
// where $dom is the 'div' containing the 'ul'
$dom.unbind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul')
.bind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul', function(e) {
console.log('bind mousedown');
e.preventDefault();
});
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('hiding');
$dom.addClass('auto_dropdown_hide').hide();
}, 100);
...
I've also tried removing the blur event. I know this would prevent the dropdown from closing if you tabbed out of the input but figured it was worth a try. In Chrome it works exactly how I expected, clicking outside the input closes the dropdown, clicking the scroll bar does not close it and tabbing out does not close it. In IE8, clicking outside the dropdown does not close it though, nor does it close when you tab out, but clicking in the scroll bar does work. This is the code I added after removing blur (it's not included in the jsFiddle).
// below where the 'blur' event was
$(document).click(function(e) {
if (e.target == dropdownArray[0].input[0] || e.target == dropdownArray[0].dom[0]) {
console.log('matches');
e.preventDefault();
} else {
console.log('does not match');
dropdownArray[0].dom.addClass('auto_dropdown_box_hide').hide();
}
});
Again, this is my first attempt, I'm still learning. I'm sure there are multiple things that I'm probably doing wrong, that I can improve, etc. Before I tackle those, I would just like to understand what I'm doing wrong here and what I need to do to correct it. After reading the plugin concepts, I know there is much for me to learn.

I found few issues on a first look, you should change the :
$dom.bind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul'
to:
$dom.unbind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul').bind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul'
To prevent multiple events binding to the dom node, you can also use .one event handling of jQuery.
In the same event handling you should also put:
console.log('bind mousedown');
e.preventDefault();
return false;
To be sure event is not firing.
Hope this helps (I'm not having IE8 for a long time now)

I believe I finally figured this one out. After multiple tries I thought I'd change up the format to one that seemed, at least to me, a little more straight forward.
Here is the complete jsFiddle
The underlying fix was correctly setting/adjusting which element has focus and when. Since mousedown executes before click, I stuck with that event on the dropdown. In the mousedown event, I set isVisible = true and set focus back on the input (although the latter is not completely necessary). In the blur event, I'm checking isVisible. If it's true, that means that a click happened in the scroll bar so don't close the dropdown. If it's false, close the dropdown. Throughout events, I'm keeping track of isVisible so I know it's state when blur executes. Again, I changed up the format so the two fiddles do look different. I'm sure I could go back and implement something similar to the original fiddle and get it working but I just liked this way more. Here is a snippet of the relevant changes:
{
// some code above
// where $list is the 'ul'
$list.bind('mousedown', methods.onDropdownMousedown);
// where $obj is the 'input'
$obj.bind('blur', methods.doOnBlur);
},
onDropdownMousedown: function(e) {
$input.focus(); // not really needed, just in case
isVisible = true;
},
doOnBlur: function(e) {
if (isVisible) {
$input.focus();
isVisible = false;
} else {
// where $container is the 'div' containing the list
$container.addClass('auto_dropdown_box_hide').hide();
isVisible = false;
}
isVisible = false;
}

How can I create an exception for a jquery mouseout event only if another mouseover event hasn't been triggered?

Basically my client wants hidden navigation to appear when mouseover an image. I've solved the problem of the navigation not hiding when you mouseover the navigation and then hiding when you leave the navigation. There are two problems I'm running into and I've tried a variety of different combinations that I thought would work, but of course didn't. The two problems are:
When you mouseout the image without mouseover the navigation then the navigation needs to hide, as of right now it stays open until you either mouseover the image again or mouseleave the navigation.
Second problem is when you mouseleave the navigation directly to mouseover the image it loops the function and hides the nav then opens the nav again, I've tried changing slideToggle to show, but that causes a whole bunch of other issues.
Right now the code is behaving as close to how I want it and could be considered acceptable, but I'd love to know how to solve the problems above. I thought about using the hoverIntent plugin to sense the mouse movements and only trigger the functions once the mouse has slowed, but couldn't get it working properly. Clearly, I am a novice when it comes to javascript and jquery so please forgive me, but I'd really appreciate any help.
Here is my code
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".nav-body").hide();
$(".nav-head").mouseover(function(){
$(this).next(".nav-body").slideToggle(600);
$(".nav-body").mouseleave(function(){
$(this).hide(700);
});
});
});
Here is my html:
<p class="nav-head"><img src="/images/face-btn.jpg" /></p>
<div class="nav-body">
<ul><?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=12&depth=1'); ?></ul>
</div>

Markup change
<div class="nav-container">
<p class="nav-head"></p>
<div class="nav-body"></div>
</div>
Javascript
var eventHandler;
eventHandler = function(){$(".nav-head").one("mouseover",function(){
$(this).next(".nav-body").slideToggle(600);
$(".nav-container").one("mouseleave", function(){
$(this).find(".nav-body").hide(700, eventHandler);
});
});};
eventHandler();
The first change is from mouseleave to mouseout. Inside the navigation, there are likely to be descendent elements that cover the actual nav-body. With mouse leave, the handler only triggers when the mouse leaves the bound element. If it goes over descend it elements, it is considered leaving. Mouseout only triggers if it is outside the bounds of the bound object.
The second thing I did was assign a delegate to the handler binding operation so that I could use it as a callback function for hide(). This way, the event handler won't be restored to the nav-head until the hide is completely done.
The last was to assign the mouseout handler to the containing div. This way, the so long as it leaves the nav-head (or the nav-body) since its contained, the body will hide.

Mouseover events in one object, and mouse out events on an object resulting of the first event

The title is a little bit messy, so let me try to explain in the actual question:
Suppose I have the following HTML setup.
<div id="userMenu">
<div id="userMenu-expanderLink">Mouseover here!</div>
<div id="userMenu-collapserLink">You can close the menu by mouse out.</div>
<div id="userMenu-expandedContent">Extra Content</div>
</div>
Now, userMenu and userMenu-expanderLink are shown by default. userMenu-expandedContent and userMenu-collapserLink are hidden by default.
What I am trying to do in jQuery is to slideDown the userMenu-expandedContentwhen a mouseover event occurs on userMenu-expander. All good there, this is my code:
$("#userMenu-expanderLink").mouseover(function() {
$("#userMenu-expandedContent").stop().slideDown(200);
$("#userMenu-expanderLink").hide();
$("#userMenu-collapserLink").show();
$("#userMenu").addClass("userMenu-expanded");
});
As you can see, I'm also hiding the expanderLink and showing the collapserLink; and also adding a class called userMenu-expanded to #userMenu. Until now, this code has no problems. Everything works well.
But now, I want that when the user has a mouseOut event on #userMenu.userMenu-expanded, effectively moving his mouse out of the #userMenu that is expanded, I want when that happens, the expandedContent is slideUp'd, the expander and collapser links swapped, and the class removed. I know how to do that, but handling the event seems to be a problem.
Putting $("#userMenu.userMenu-expanded")... directly alongside the code I have of course does not work, since a div with such id and such class is only generated if the menu has been expanded, and the div's class is removed once the menu is collapsed. I don't directly use a mouseover/mouseout event on one object because I want the collapsing to be triggered only when the user takes his mouse out of the menu, not the expander link.
So, here's my problem. How can I get such mouse out event? I have tried adding the event handler in the callback of .addClass, but no avail, it would basically permanently close that expanded menu (basically I can't ever expand it again until I reload the page).
How can this be done? I'm not very experienced with jQuery, so a detailed answer would be most appreciated. I'm more interested on how can this be done rather than just accomplishing it, I want to learn ^_^.
Thanks!

I have found a correct way to do this. This is my final implementation.
$(document).ready(function() {
// UserMenu Expander, which is also a form of drop down
$("#userMenu-expander").mouseenter(function() {
//alert("Usermenu expanding…");
$("#userMenu-expandedContent").slideDown(200, function() {
$("#userMenu").addClass("userMenu-expanded");
});
$("#userMenu-expanderLink").hide();
$("#userMenu-collapserLink").show();
});
$("#userMenu.userMenu-expanded").live('mouseleave', function() {
//alert("Usermenu de-expanding…");
$("#userMenu-expandedContent").slideUp(200);
$("#userMenu-expanderLink").show();
$("#userMenu-collapserLink").hide();
$("#userMenu").removeClass("userMenu-expanded");
});
});
