JavaScript

I have a floating div that gets displayed, and I want it to be hidden when the user clicks off the div. This would be similar to the .hover() funtion callback when hovering off an element. Only I want to do this for click.

I tried just setting a click event for the body, which would hide the div, but that gave unexpected results.

Anyone have ideas on how I could easily do this?
