jQuery Hide Div(s) on focus of drop down menu or text (live search) input

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to hide the #hideme div when the a user clicks the drop down menu (to select something) or puts the focus on the text field. Thanks! 

   #hideme {
     background:#ccc;
    }

    <script>
    $(function(){
       $('#skill_select').click(function(){
            $('#hideme').hide();
        });
    }):
    </script>
    <select>
            <option selected="selected">Pick from the list</option>
            <option>Option One</option>
            <option>Option Two</option>
    </select>
    or <input type="text" value="type something">
    <br/><br/>
    <div id="hideme">Hide Me Please</div>

Assuming all you want to do is hide.

$('select, input').click(function() {
        $('#hideme').hide();
    });

If you want to show the div back again when user clicked outside select or input, then do this

$('select,input').click(function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    $('#hideme').hide();
});
$(document).click(function() {
    $('#hideme').show();
})

Check working example at http://jsfiddle.net/2p6Y7/2/

Don't use select, input. Create id's for each of them and select them by there id.

Give the select and textbox ID's:

<select id="mySelect">
    <option selected="selected">Pick from the list</option>
    <option>Option One</option>
    <option>Option Two</option>
</select>
or <input type="text" value="type something" id="myText">
<script type="text/javascript">
    function hideMe() {
        $('#hideme').hide();
    }

    $('#mySelect').change(hideMe);
    $('#myText').focus(hideMe);
</script>
