我有一个应用程序，它的工作方式与Eran的示例类似，只是当我打开菜单时，我会将单击事件附加到主体。。。有点像这样：

$('#menucontainer').click(function(event) {
  $('html').one('click',function() {
    // Hide the menus
  });

  event.stopPropagation();
});

有关jQuery的one（）函数的更多信息

$(document).on('click.menu.hide', function(e){
  if ( !$(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;
}

这里是jsbin版本http://jsbin.com/xopacadeni/edit?html，css，js，输出

这是我的代码：

// Listen to every click
$('html').click(function(event) {
    if ( $('#mypopupmenu').is(':visible') ) {
        if (event.target.id != 'click_this_to_show_mypopupmenu') {
            $('#mypopupmenu').hide();
        }
    }
});

// Listen to selector's clicks
$('#click_this_to_show_mypopupmenu').click(function() {

  // If the menu is visible, and you clicked the selector again we need to hide
  if ( $('#mypopupmenu').is(':visible') {
      $('#mypopupmenu').hide();
      return true;
  }

  // Else we need to show the popup menu
  $('#mypopupmenu').show();
});

正如另一位海报所说，有很多陷阱，特别是如果你正在显示的元素（在本例中是菜单）具有交互元素。我发现以下方法相当稳健：

$('#menuscontainer').click(function(event) {
    //your code that shows the menus fully

    //now set up an event listener so that clicking anywhere outside will close the menu
    $('html').click(function(event) {
        //check up the tree of the click target to check whether user has clicked outside of menu
        if ($(event.target).parents('#menuscontainer').length==0) {
            // your code to hide menu

            //this event listener has done its job so we can unbind it.
            $(this).unbind(event);
        }

    })
});

$("html").click(function(){
    if($('#info').css("opacity")>0.9) {
        $('#info').fadeOut('fast');
    }
});

这对我来说非常及时：

$('body').click(function() {
    // Hide the menus if visible.
});
