I am using a simple javascript code to toggle div onclick. You can see it in action on this link: k-prim.biz/Untitled-2.html - it is a quite simple demo page. What I want to make is to hide div not only when click on the "link" but also when click outside the div. Also how can I change the css style of the "link" when the div is displayed? Thank you in advance!
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function showHide() {
var ele = document.getElementById("showHideDiv");
if(ele.style.display == "block") {
ele.style.display = "none";
}
else {
ele.style.display = "block"; }
}
</script>
<a href="#" onClick="return showHide();" >link</a>
<div id="showHideDiv" style="display:none;">hello!</div>

Reset to default 5You've not given me any code to work with, so you'll have to modify this to suit your needs:
$(document).click(function() {
if(this != $("#the_div")[0]) {
$("#the_div").hide();
}
});
That will hide the div if a user clicks anywhere on the page that isn't that div.
HTML:
<div id="settings">
<input/><select></select><span>text</span>
</div>
Javascript:
var settings = document.getElementById('settings');
document.onclick = function(e){
var target = (e && e.target) || (event && event.srcElement);
var display = 'none';
while (target.parentNode) {
if (target == settings) {
display ='block';
break;
}
target = target.parentNode;
}
settings.style.display = display;
}
This is a quick hack I wrote. I am not sure why you want to do the same activity by clicking anywhere on the document. If you want to do that, replace jQuery('#link') with jQuery(document).
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#link').click(function(){
if(jQuery('#showHideDiv').hasClass('hide')) {
jQuery('#showHideDiv').removeClass('hide');
jQuery('#link').css('color', 'red');
} else {
jQuery('#showHideDiv').addClass('hide');
jQuery('#link').css('color', 'blue');
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" id="link" >link</a>
<div id="showHideDiv" class="hide">hello!</div>
</body>
</html>
This is the link to the jsfiddle
http://jsfiddle/EUScV/9/
and also add css rule
.hide {
display:none;
}
