Jquery - detect the click outside of input

rated 0 times [ 71] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 16377 / 10 Years ago, wed, august 6, 2014, 12:00:00

<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(){

  ?

});

$(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.
