$(document).click(function() {
    $(".overlay-window").hide();
});
$(".overlay-window").click(function() {
    return false;
});

如果单击文档，则隐藏给定元素，除非单击同一元素。

检查窗口单击事件目标（它应该传播到窗口，只要它没有在其他地方被捕获），并确保它不是任何菜单元素。如果不是，那么你就在菜单之外。

或者检查单击的位置，看看它是否包含在菜单区域中。

外部点击插件！

用法：

$('.target-element').outsideClick(function(event){
    //code that fires when user clicks outside the element
    //event = the click event
    //$(this) = the '.target-element' that is firing this function 
}, '.excluded-element')

它的代码：

(function($) {

//when the user hits the escape key, it will trigger all outsideClick functions
$(document).on("keyup", function (e) {
    if (e.which == 27) $('body').click(); //escape key
});

//The actual plugin
$.fn.outsideClick = function(callback, exclusions) {
    var subject = this;

    //test if exclusions have been set
    var hasExclusions = typeof exclusions !== 'undefined';

    //switches click event with touch event if on a touch device
    var ClickOrTouchEvent = "ontouchend" in document ? "touchend" : "click";

    $('body').on(ClickOrTouchEvent, function(event) {
        //click target does not contain subject as a parent
        var clickedOutside = !$(event.target).closest(subject).length;

        //click target was on one of the excluded elements
        var clickedExclusion = $(event.target).closest(exclusions).length;

        var testSuccessful;

        if (hasExclusions) {
            testSuccessful = clickedOutside && !clickedExclusion;
        } else {
            testSuccessful = clickedOutside;
        }

        if(testSuccessful) {
            callback.call(subject, event);
        }
    });

    return this;
};

}(jQuery));

解决方案1

不要使用event.stopPropagation（），因为它会产生一些副作用，只需定义一个简单的标志变量并添加一个if条件。我对此进行了测试，工作正常，没有任何stopPropagation的副作用：

var flag = "1";
$('#menucontainer').click(function(event){
    flag = "0"; // flag 0 means click happened in the area where we should not do any action
});

$('html').click(function() {
    if(flag != "0"){
        // Hide the menus if visible
    }
    else {
        flag = "1";
    }
});

解决方案2

只有一个简单的if条件：

$(document).on('click', function(event){
    var container = $("#menucontainer");
    if (!container.is(event.target) &&            // If the target of the click isn't the container...
        container.has(event.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
    {
        // Do whatever you want to do when click is outside the element
    }
});

这里还有一个解决方案：

用法：

<div onClick="$('#menu').toggle();$('#menu').clickOutside(function() { $(this).hide(); $(this).clickOutside('disable'); });">Open / Close Menu</div>
<div id="menu" style="display: none; border: 1px solid #000000; background: #660000;">I am a menu, whoa is me.</div>

插件：

(function($) {
    var clickOutsideElements = [];
    var clickListener = false;

    $.fn.clickOutside = function(options, ignoreFirstClick) {
        var that = this;
        if (ignoreFirstClick == null) ignoreFirstClick = true;

        if (options != "disable") {
            for (var i in clickOutsideElements) {
                if (clickOutsideElements[i].element[0] == $(this)[0]) return this;
            }

            clickOutsideElements.push({ element : this, clickDetected : ignoreFirstClick, fnc : (typeof(options) != "function") ? function() {} : options });

            $(this).on("click.clickOutside", function(event) {
                for (var i in clickOutsideElements) {
                    if (clickOutsideElements[i].element[0] == $(this)[0]) {
                        clickOutsideElements[i].clickDetected = true;
                    }
                }
            });

            if (!clickListener) {
                if (options != null && typeof(options) == "function") {
                    $('html').click(function() {
                        for (var i in clickOutsideElements) {
                            if (!clickOutsideElements[i].clickDetected) {
                                clickOutsideElements[i].fnc.call(that);
                            }
                            if (clickOutsideElements[i] != null) clickOutsideElements[i].clickDetected = false;
                        }
                    });
                    clickListener = true;
                }
            }
        }
        else {
            $(this).off("click.clickoutside");
            for (var i = 0; i < clickOutsideElements.length; ++i) {
                if (clickOutsideElements[i].element[0] == $(this)[0]) {
                    clickOutsideElements.splice(i, 1);
                }
            }
        }

        return this;
    }
})(jQuery);

&& (e.target != $('html').get(0)) // ignore the scrollbar

因此，单击滚动条不会隐藏目标元素。
