How to hide a DIV element when I click outside

I have a div and want to hide it when I click outside. My code is:

<div id="mydiv">The div must be above button</div>

    $('#mydiv').click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    });

    $(document).click(function() {
        $('#mydiv').fadeOut(300);
    });

But it is not working for me ...

UPDATE

Full code is presented below. When I click on a button it shows a div above, so I need to hide this div when I click outside.

DEMO

<div id="but" style="text-align: right;"><button type="button">Show Div!</button></div>
<div id="mydiv" style="display:none;">The div must be above button</div>

$("#but button").click(function(){
  var pos = $(this).offset(),
      div = $("#mydiv");

  // Make it visible off-page so
  // we can measure it
  div.css({
    "display": "block",
    "border": "1px solid black",
    "position": "absolute",
    "left": -10000,
    "top": 0
  });

  // Move it where we want it to be
  div.css({
    "left": pos.left - 40,
    "top":  pos.top - div.height() - 10
  });
});

$('#myDiv').click(function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).click(function() {
    $('#mydiv').fadeOut(300);
});

Try the below solution which is easy and 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();
    }
});

$('html').click(function() { $("div").css({"display": "none"}); }); $('.option').click(function(event){ event.stopPropagation(); });

$(".search").keyup(function(){ search=$(".search"); if(search.val()!= "" ) { $("div").css({"display": "block"}); } else { $("div").css({"display": "none"}); } });

  <input type="search" class="form-control search" name="search" autocomplete="off" >

  <div>

  </div>

this will help to hide

The simplest way is to capture the onclick event of the document. You know this click event happens outside the element that you are interested, then just return false. I used this trick to hide a popup menu when a click outside the menu event fires.

Why all that just use css3 target

<a href='#login'>Login</a>


<div id='login'>
  blah blah blah
</div>


css:

#login{width:400px;height:600px;background:#fff;margin:10%
       auto;position:absolute;left:0;right:0;
      }

now we will hide the login box by putting a class on it 

<div class='lightbox' id='login'>

</div>

css:

.lightbox{display:none;}
.lightbox:target{display:block;}

thats all the code dont need too use javascript

In javascript click is a bubbling event, it starts on a div and goes up to a document. When you stop an event propagation using a stopPropagation() function, a click on the document is not handled. So, to solve your problem just remove e.stopPropagation().

DEMO 1

The best way is:

$('#mydiv').click(function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    $(this).fadeOut(300);
});

DEMO 2

If I click on this div, how to make to click outside and hide this div ?

Ok, let's imagine, that when you are clicking on a container with id "wrapperId", "myDiv" should be hidden:

$("#wrapperId").click(function(e){
  $('#mydiv').fadeOut(300);
})

if container is a document, you can use $(document) instead of $("#wrapperId").

DEMO 3

It is not working look what is happening: jsbin.com/ilowij/7

You should stop a click event propagation when you are clicking the button. Make these changes:

$("#but button").click(function(e){
    e.stopPropagation();
    ...
}

check this one

<a href="#" id="link">Click me</a>
show or hide me by clicking

    (function($) {

  $("#link").click(function(e){
    e.stopPropagation();
    var div = $("#show_hide");

    // Make it visible off-page
    div.css({
      "display": "block"
    });

  });
$(document).click(function(e){
  $('#show_hide').fadeOut(300);
});
})(jQuery);

you can checkout this link for example..

Better than binding click event to document, you can use this kind of snippet:

SEE DEMO

$('#mydiv').click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    })
    .css({outline:0})
    .focusout(function(){
         $(this).fadeOut(300);  
    }).focus();

Try with below code that checks event target

 $(document).click(function(e) {
  if(e.target.id!="mydiv"){  // if click is not in 'mydiv'
    $('#mydiv').hide(3000);
  }
});
