订阅捕获阶段的点击以处理调用preventDefault的点击元素。使用其他名称在文档元素上重新触发它，单击任意位置。

document.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
  event = $.event.fix(event);
  event.type = 'click-anywhere';
  $document.trigger(event);
}, true);

然后，在需要单击外部功能的地方，订阅文档上的单击任意位置事件，并检查单击是否在您感兴趣的元素之外：

$(document).on('click-anywhere', function (event) {
  if (!$(event.target).closest('#smth').length) {
    // Do anything you need here
  }
});

一些注意事项：

您必须使用文档，因为在发生单击的所有元素上触发事件是性能错误。这个功能可以封装到特殊的插件中，在外部点击时调用一些回调。您不能使用jQuery本身订阅捕获阶段。您不需要加载文档来订阅，因为订阅是在文档上进行的，甚至不在其主体上，所以它总是独立于脚本放置和加载状态而存在。

这里还有一个解决方案：

http://jsfiddle.net/zR76D/

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);

对于某些人来说，这可能是一个更好的解决方案。

$(".menu_link").click(function(){
    // show menu code
});

$(".menu_link").mouseleave(function(){
    //hide menu code, you may add a timer for 3 seconds before code to be run
});

我知道mouseleave不仅意味着在外面单击，还意味着离开该元素的区域。

一旦菜单本身位于menu_link元素内，那么单击或移动菜单本身应该不会有问题。

$(document).on('click.menu.hide', function(e){
  if ( !$(e.target).closest('#my_menu').length ) {
    $('#my_menu').find('ul').toggleClass('active', false);
  }
});

$(document).on('click.menu.show', '#my_menu li', function(e){
  $(this).find('ul').toggleClass('active');
});

div {
  float: left;
}

ul {
  padding: 0;
  position: relative;
}
ul li {
  padding: 5px 25px 5px 10px;
  border: 1px solid silver;
  cursor: pointer;
  list-style: none;
  margin-top: -1px;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
ul li ul:before {
  margin-right: -20px;
  position: absolute;
  top: -17px;
  right: 0;
  content: "\25BC";
}
ul li ul li {
  visibility: hidden;
  height: 0;
  padding-top: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
  border-width: 0 0 1px 0;
}
ul li ul li:last-child {
  border: none;
}
ul li ul.active:before {
  content: "\25B2";
}
ul li ul.active li {
  display: list-item;
  visibility: visible;
  height: inherit;
  padding: 5px 25px 5px 10px;
}

所有这些答案都解决了这个问题，但我想提供一个完全符合需要的moders es6解决方案。我只是希望让大家对这个可运行的演示感到满意。

window.clickOutSide=（元素，单击外部，单击内部）=>{document.addEventListener（'click'，（event）=>{if（！element.contains（event.target））{if（单击类型内部==“函数”）{单击外侧（）；}}其他{if（单击类型内部==“函数”）{单击内侧（）；}}});};window.clickOutSide（document.querySelector（'.block'），（）=>警报（'clicked outside'）；.块{宽度：400px；高度：400px；背景色：红色；}<div class=“block”></div>

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));
