jQuery click anywhere in the page except on 1 div

You can apply click on body of document and cancel click processing if the click event is generated by div with id menu_content, This will bind event to single element and saving binding of click with every element except menu_content

$('body').click(function(evt){           if(evt.target.id == "menu_content")          return;       //For descendants of menu_content being clicked, remove this check if you do not want to put constraint on descendants.       if($(evt.target).closest('#menu_content').length)          return;                   //Do processing of click event here for every element except with id menu_content});

See the documentation for jQuery Event Target. Using the target property of the event object, you can detect where the click originated within the #menu_content element and, if so, terminate the click handler early. You will have to use .closest() to handle cases where the click originated in a descendant of #menu_content.

$(document).click(function(e){    // Check if click was triggered on or within #menu_content    if( $(e.target).closest("#menu_content").length > 0 ) {        return false;    }    // Otherwise    // trigger your click function});

try this

 $('html').click(function() { //your stuf }); $('#menucontainer').click(function(event){     event.stopPropagation(); });

you can also use the outside events
