Below is a simple code for javascript dropdown menu given by w3schools, I wanted two dropdowns so I created a duplicate with changed element and variable names. Both dropdowns work fine except now I can't close opened drop down by clicking anywhere on web page which worked fine with one dropdown. So how can I make that work while having two drop downs.
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown menu if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (!event.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
var dropdowns = document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-content");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
openDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}
}
}
}
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction2() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown menu if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (!event.target.matches('.dropbtn2')) {
var dropdown = document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-content2");
var e;
for (e = 0; i < dropdown.length; e++) {
var opendropdown = dropdown[e];
if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
openDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}
}

Reset to default 5You can do like following way. No need to write that code to remove class as you toggle class.
Just remove on window click.
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
function myFunction2(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown menu if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function(event) {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.remove("show");
}/* Dropdown Button */

</table>With the help of jquery it is possible to prepare function for handling click outside some element in following way
function outsideElementClickEvent(elm, callback) {
function isClickedOutside(e){
var container = $(elm);
if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
callback();
}
}
$(document).mouseup(isClickedOutside);
return isClickedOutside;
},
/**
* It removes outside element handler passed in as a parameter.
*
* @param handler
*/
function removeOutsideElementHandler(handler) {
if (handler) {
$(document).unbind("mouseup", handler);
}
}
