Menu
$(document). click(function (event) { $('#myDIV:visible'). hide(); });
To show and hide div on mouse click using jQuery, use the toggle() method. On mouse click, the div is visible and on again clicking the div, it hides.
If I understand, you want to hide a div when you click anywhere but the div, and if you do click while over the div, then it should NOT close. You can do that with this code:
$(document).click(function() {
alert("me");
});
$(".myDiv").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation(); // This is the preferred method.
return false; // This should not be used unless you do not want
// any click events registering inside the div
});
This binds the click to the entire page, but if you click on the div in question, it will cancel the click event.
Try this
$('.myDiv').click(function(e) { //button click class name is myDiv
e.stopPropagation();
})
$(function(){
$(document).click(function(){
$('.myDiv').hide(); //hide the button
});
});
I use class name instead of ID, because in asp.net you have to worry about the extra stuff .net attaches to the id
EDIT- Since you added a another piece, it would work like this:
$('.myDiv').click(function() { //button click class name is myDiv
e.stopPropagation();
})
$(function(){
$('.openDiv').click(function() {
$('.myDiv').show();
});
$(document).click(function(){
$('.myDiv').hide(); //hide the button
});
});
As of jQuery 1.7 there's a new way to handle events. I thought I'd answer here just to demonstrate how I might go about doing this the "new" way. If you haven't, I recommend you read the jQuery docs for the "on" method.
var handler = function(event){
// if the target is a descendent of container do nothing
if($(event.target).is(".container, .container *")) return;
// remove event handler from document
$(document).off("click", handler);
// dostuff
}
$(document).on("click", handler);
Here we're abusing jQuery's selectors and bubbling of events. Note that I make sure I clean the event handler up afterwards. You can automate this behaviour with $('.container').one (see: docs) but because we need to do conditionals within the handler that isn't applicable here.
This following code example seems to work best for me. While you can use 'return false' that stops all handling of that event for the div or any of it's children. If you want to have controls on the pop-up div (a pop-up login form for example) you need to use event.stopPropogation().
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<a id="link" href="#">show box</a>
<div id="box" style="background: #eee; display: none">

<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var box = $('#box');
var link = $('#link');
link.click(function() {
box.show(); return false;
});
$(document).click(function() {
box.hide();
});
box.click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Thanks, Thomas. I'm new to JS and I've been looking crazy for a solution to my problem. Yours helped.
I've used jquery to make a Login-box that slides down. For best user experience I desided to make the box disappear when user clicks somewhere but the box. I'm a little bit embarrassed over using about four hours fixing this. But hey, I'm new to JS.
Maybe my code can help someone out:
<body>
<button class="login">Logg inn</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("button.login").click(function () {
if ($("div#box:first").is(":hidden")) {
$("div#box").slideDown("slow");}
else {
$("div#box").slideUp("slow");
}
});
</script>
<div id="box">Lots of login content</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var box = $('#box');
var login = $('.login');
login.click(function() {
box.show(); return false;
});
$(document).click(function() {
box.hide();
});
box.click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
</script>
</body>
What you can also do is:
$(document).click(function (e)
{
var container = $("div");
if (!container.is(e.target) && container.has(e.target).length === 0)
{
container.fadeOut('slow');
}
});
If your target is not a div then hide the div by checking its length is equal to zero.
I did the below. Thought of sharing so someone else could also benefit.
$("div#newButtonDiv").click(function(){
$(this).find("ul.sub-menu").css({"display":"block"});
$(this).click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
$("html").click(function(){
$(this).find("ul.sub-menu").css({"display":"none"});
}
});
});
Let me know if I can help someone on this.
