So I have a drop-down menu that shows on a click, as per business requirements. The menu becomes hidden again after you mouse away from it.
But now I am being asked to have it stay in place until user clicks anywhere on the document. How can this be accomplished?
This is a simplified version of what I have now:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("ul.opMenu li").click(function(){
$('#MainOptSubMenu',this).css('visibility', 'visible');
});
$("ul.opMenu li").mouseleave(function(){
$('#MainOptSubMenu',this).css('visibility', 'hidden');
});
});
<ul class="opMenu">
<li id="footwo" class="">
<span id="optImg" style="display: inline-block;"> <img src="http://localhost.vmsinfo.com:8002/insight/images/options-hover2.gif"/> </span>
<ul id="MainOptSubMenu" style="visibility: hidden; top: 25px; border-top: 0px solid rgb(217, 228, 250); background-color: rgb(217, 228, 250); padding-bottom: 15px;">
<li>some</li>
<li>nav</li>
<li>links</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I tried something like this $('document[id!=MainOptSubMenu]').click(function() thinking it would trigger on anything that wasnt the menu, but it didnt work.
