This may be a very simple but never used this type of things so no idea how to do.
I am using fadeToggle to show hide div an
$('#account-toggle').click(
function(){
$('#account-toggle').toggleClass('account-active');
$('.account-group').fadeToggle('fast');
});
It is working fine.. (obviously nothing complex :P ) now what I want is to hide it when user click elsewhere on the screen.
Can anyone help me to make it happen?... thanks a lot
Try this:
$('#account-toggle').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).toggleClass('account-active');
$('.account-group').fadeToggle('fast');
});
$(document).click(function(){
$('#account-toggle.account-active').removeClass('account-active');
$('.account-group:visible').hide();
});
$(document).click
event is triggered whenever a user click anywhere in the page.
- It might happen that the user clicks on the
account-toggle
element. This will trigger both the #account-toggle
& document
event due to event bubbling. To stop that we have used the e.stopPropagation()
function here.
