# jQuery outside events #

[http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-outside-events-plugin/](http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-outside-events-plugin/)

Version: 1.1, Last updated: 3/16/2010

With jQuery outside events you can bind to an event that will be triggered only when a specific "originating" event occurs *outside* the element in question. For example, you can click outside, double-click outside, mouse-over outside, focus outside (and over ten more default "outside" events). Also, if an outside event hasn't been provided by default, you can easily define your own.

Please note that because a reference to the originating event's element is available as event.target you can change behavior based on which element was actually interacted with.

Visit the [project page](http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-outside-events-plugin/) for more information and usage examples!
