jQuery click off element event

Image
By User


I have a floating div that gets displayed, and I want it to be hidden when the user clicks off the div. This would be similar to the .hover() funtion callback when hovering off an element. Only I want to do this for click.



I tried just setting a click event for the body, which would hide the div, but that gave unexpected results.



Anyone have ideas on how I could easily do this?

    Another, possibly simpler, option would be to add a transparent div between the floating DIV and the rest of the page.

    A simple click event on the transparent DIV could handle the hiding, and it would avoid the issues you are encountering with the click event.

    If you want to clear the div when you click somewhere else in the page, you can do something like:

    $('body').click(function(event) {
    if (!$(event.target).closest('#myDiv').length) {
    $('#myDiv').hide();
    };
    });

    The Best way to do this is:-


    $(document).bind('click', function(e) {

    var $clicked = $(e.target);

    if (!$clicked.parents().hasClass("divtohide")) {
    $(".divtohide").hide();
    }

    });

    Surely you're looking for the blur event?

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
