closing opening container on click

Container is initially hidden.

Container opens when clicked on ".myclass".

Container should stay open until clicked on anything! outside of ".container".

Container should also close, when clicked on ".myclass"

Elements inside of "div class='myclass'" do not fully overlap parent divs, so user can click on parent div or any inside elements (depending on click location).

problems here: ".container" closes immediately once it opens.

Code below.

<div class="myclass">
<div>
    <div>
        <div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container"></div>


<script>
//click to open
$(".myclass").click(function(){

        var target = $('.container'); 
        if( target.is(':hidden') ) {
            $(".container").slideDown("fast");
        } else {
            $(".container").slideUp("fast");
        }
    });

//click outside to close 
$(document.body).click(function(event){ 
        var outside_area = $(event.target); 

        if (!outside_area.is(".myclass") && !outside_area.is(".container") ){ 
            $(".container").slideUp("fast");    
        }
    });

    if( target.is(':hidden') ) {
        $(".container").slideDown("fast");
    } else {
        $(".container").slideUp("fast");
    }

$(document.body).click(function(){ 
   $(".container").slideUp("fast");    
}); 
$(".container, .myclass").click(function(event){
     event.stopPropagation();
});
