    <p>I have some dynamically created menus on a page that need to hide whenever the user clicks anywhere on the page. This needs to work if the user clicks the menu, or tries to open another menu. </p> <p>I also want the event handler to unbind itself when done hiding. I've found a solution using <code>document.on()</code> one <code>one()</code> but would really like to restrict the <code>document</code> handler to something further down the DOM. Problem is that it breaks my code. </p> <p>Any help with an elegant solution appreciated.</p> <p>The main reason I want to do this is to be able to prevent <code>event propagation</code> such as in:</p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/QsggA/8/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Failing propagation DEMO</strong></a> </p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/QsggA/9/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Succeeding propagation, failing <code>one()</code> clickhandler DEMO</strong></a> </p> <p><strong>Javascript</strong></p> <pre><code>// I want to change "document" to ".menus" here $(document).on("click", ".displayMenu", function(e) { var $menu = $(this).siblings(".menu"); $(document).one("click", function(e2) { if (e.target!=e2.target) $menu.hide(); }); $menu.toggle(); });​ </code></pre> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="menus"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div class="displayMenu"&gt;Show menu 1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="menu"&gt;menu 1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div class="displayMenu"&gt;Show menu 2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="menu"&gt;menu 2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;​ </code></pre>

    2. COClick one menu, then click the other. The first menu will not hide.

    3. COJust realized that `stopPropagation()` will prevent the `document.one()` event handler from triggering... Of course. *sigh* Thing is that even *without* `stopPropagation()`, `document.one()` fails... Any idea why?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
