$(document).click(function(evt) { var target = evt.currentTarget; var inside = $(".menuWraper"); if (target != inside) { alert("bleep"); } }); I am trying to figure out how to make it so that if a user clicks outside of a certain div (menuWraper), it triggers an event.. I realized I can just make every click fire an event, then check if the clicked currentTarget is same as the object selected from
