I'm trying to create add a way to show a div onclick of a button and hide it when not in focus / when user clicks outside the div.
I've already managed to add a button that can show a hidden div, but I can't figure out how to make it hidden again when focus is lost.
I've read this: Hide a DIV when it loses focus/blur
...and other articles, but I couldn't follow them to make it work..
Please see my code so far:
function openCardsList() {
let window = document.getElementById("anchor-cards-list");
window.style.display = "block";
}
$(document).not("#anchor-cards-list").click(function() {
$('#anchor-cards-list').hide();
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div class="collapse" id="anchor-cards-list">Lorem Ipsum</div>
<button id="anchor-open-cards-list-btn" onclick="openCardsList();">Collapse Maincard</button>Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
you can use this code :
function openCardsList() {
let window = document.getElementById("anchor-cards-list");
window.style.display = "block";
}
function hideDiv(){
let window = document.getElementById("anchor-cards-list");
window.style.display = "none";
}
and add onclick event to parent div
div onclick="hideDiv()" style="height: 100vh;">
<div class="collapse" id="anchor-cards-list">Lorem Ipsum</div>
</div>
I'd personally simplify things to separate concerns. Add an event listener to the button (click) to show your div, and an event listener (blur) on the div to hide it again.
document.getElementById('anchor-open-cards-list-btn').addEventListener('click', showDiv);
document.getElementById('anchor-cards-list').addEventListener('blur', hideDiv);
Then showDiv and hideDiv just handle the element visibility.
i prefer to make let window outside the function so you can use it anytime needed. and also if you only make this for handle show/hide div while onclick and onblur you dont need jquery. the default javascript can deliver those event action.
script.js
let card = document.getElementById('anchor-cards-list')
function openCard() {
card.style.display = 'block'
}
function blurCard() {
card.style.display = 'none'
}
index.html
<div id="anchor-cards-list">Hello Text</div>
<button onclick="openCard()" onblur="blurCard()">Clik me</button>
