Hi,

I have a menu in jQuery when you click on a link it opens up, but I want it so when you click somewhere else, anywhere else that is not the menu, it becomes hidden.

At the moment I'm binding a click event to

$(':not(#the_menu)')

But this seems like I'm binding a click event to the entire minus the menu, is there a more efficient way of doing something like this?
