html - Use jQuery to hide a DIV when the user clicks outside of it



I am using this code:



$('body').click(function() {
$('.form_wrapper').hide();
});


$('.form_wrapper').click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
});


And this HTML:






The problem is that I have links inside the DIV and when they no longer work when clicked.

Had the same problem, came up with this easy solution. It's even working recursive:



$(document).mouseup(function(e) 
{
var container = $("YOUR CONTAINER SELECTOR");


// if the target of the click isn't the container nor a descendant of the container
if (!container.is(e.target) && container.has(e.target).length === 0)
{
container.hide();
}
});
