Jquery - detect the click outside of input [duplicate]

Question

<input id="ok" /> 

$('.hor-minimalist-a').on('blur','#ok',function(){

});

with this code above, i can handle events which fire If i leave the input field.

How can I detect if someone clicks outside of inputfield without coming to input. I mean the user never came to this input field before, so there was no focus at all.

$('.hor-minimalist-a').on('?','#ok',function(){
  ?
});

Answer 1

$(document).on('click', function(e) {
    if ( e.target.id != 'ok' ) {
        // you clicked something else
    }
});

That would capture any click except on the input, but why would you need it ?

To capture only clicks on .hor-minimalist-a and not the entire document, just replace document with that selector in the code above.

Answer 2

How about:

$('.hor-minimalist-a').on('click',':not(#ok)',function(){

That'll register click events within .hor-minimalist-a but outside the input #ok

Answer 3

There is a jquery plugin for that: http://benalman.com/code/projects/jquery-outside-events/examples/clickoutside/
