Jquery cursor drag and release outside input detected as click

Hi is there a way to prevent jquery from detecting a click event when you drag and release outside of an input field?
The thing is I have a modal window that closes when you click outside of the window (the backdrop).
When you have an input field in the modal window and you select the text inside the input and drag your mouse all the way out of the modal window area, then release the click, the modal will close since it detects a click event on that element when it actually wasn't a click event but a "release" event.
Here is an example https://jsfiddle.net/imurphy/tafwzero/1/
Click event code:
$('.how').on('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(!$(e.target).is('.how')){
return;
}
alert('Modal Closed');
});
Thank you

Check below code.You need use mousedown and mouseup handle the drag and drop
var isDragging = false;
$(".how")
.mousedown(function() {
$(window).mousemove(function() {
isDragging = true;
$(window).unbind("mousemove");
});
})
.mouseup(function() {
var wasDragging = isDragging;
isDragging = false;
$(window).unbind("mousemove");
if (!wasDragging) {
$(this).selection();
}
});
$('.how').on('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(!$(e.target).is('.how')){
return;
}
alert('Modal Closed');
});

Click event prevents mouseout from triggering

FINAL EDIT: I found a better solution and more simpler on this codepen. A demo of the working functionality.
EDIT: I found where the bug is coming from you can see an example here. When you click on lets say the About tab and hover over and out on contact the content should be hidden. But you go back to hover over About and out the content stays visible, which is not. How do I ensure the mouseout event is being triggered after clicked?
EDIT 2: So I noticed the unbind() method prevents that. When I remove it I can't seem to get the content area to stay active when clicked as the mouseout method overrides it.
I did some research on this but could not find a solution as to why on hover the removeclass does not work. I have encountered a bug with addClass() and removeClass() functions. The thing is I have those function firing on hover or mouseover/mouseout and on click so it gets a bit confusing. Here is a demo of what I'm working with: JSFiddle.
Full screen for better view.
My JavaScript can be kind of messy but ultimately the way this is suppose to work:
1. If you hover over a dot on the map the content on the left red box should reveal what's relevant to the location as well as a 'tooltip' of the location name. (this part works)
2. You mouse out it's suppose to go back to the list of locations and the tooltip disappears. Almost like a reset.
3. Now if you click on the dot, both the tooltip and the content on the left should remain active. Until you either click on the "Back to the list" link on the red box or hover over the other dots. (this also works)
The bug I encountered is if you click around the list panel and hover over a couple of the location dots after a certain while the hover state stays active when you hover over a couple of the locations (which is not suppose to happen). Everything is suppose to go back the list panel when you hover out of the location dot on the map.
$('a.location').click(function (event) {
var loc = this.id;
if ($('div.panel').hasClass('list')) {
$('div.' + loc).removeClass('current');
$('.list').addClass('current');
}
$('.list').removeClass('current');
$('div.panel.' + loc).addClass('current');
event.preventDefault();
}); //click function
$('.back-list').click(function (e) {
$('.panel').removeClass('current');
$('.list').addClass('current');
$('div.location-title.show').removeClass('show').addClass('hide');
$('div.location-title.view').removeClass('view');
e.preventDefault();
}); //back button
$('ul.locations li > a').hover(function () {
//show location hover
var dot = this.id;
$('div.location-title.' + dot).removeClass('hide').addClass('show');
}, function () {
var dot = this.id;
//hide location hover
$('div.location-title.' + dot).removeClass('show').addClass('hide');
}).click(function (event) {
var dot = this.id;
if (!$('div.location-title.' + dot).hasClass('hide')) {
$('div.location-title.' + dot).addClass('view');
} else {
$('div.location-title.' + dot).removeClass('view');
}
event.preventDefault();
});
$('.map__container > span').on({
mouseover: function () { //mouseover
var loc = $(this).attr('class');
$('.panel').siblings().removeClass('current'); //resets all classes that have current
$('.list').removeClass('current');
$('div.panel.' + loc).addClass('current');
$('div.show').removeClass('show').addClass('hide');
$('div.location-title.' + loc).removeClass('hide').addClass('show');
var asb = $('.location-title').siblings();
$('div.location-title').siblings().removeClass('view');
},
mouseout: function () { //mouseout
var loc = $(this).attr('class');
$('div.' + loc).removeClass('current');
$('div.location-title.' + loc).removeClass('show').addClass('hide');
if (!$('div.' + loc).hasClass('current')) {
$('.list').addClass('current');
} else {
$('.list').addClass('current');
}
},
click: function () {
$(this).off('mouseout');
var loc = $(this).attr('class');
$('div.location-title.show').removeClass('show').addClass('hide');
$('div.location-title.' + loc).removeClass('hide').addClass('show');
}
});
Also if you have better suggestions to clean up my JavaScript I'm all ears. Thanks so much!

If i understand right, you might want to try with the event Mouseleave, and i would use to modularize the function toggleClass:
ToggleClass function Jquery
Mouseleave explanation:
mouseleave: function () { //mouseout
var loc = $(this).attr('class');
$('div.' + loc).removeClass('current');
$('div.location-title.' + loc).removeClass('show').addClass('hide');
if (!$('div.' + loc).hasClass('current')) {
$('.list').addClass('current');
} else {
$('.list').addClass('current');
}
},
I hope this helps you. Salutations!

FINAL EDIT: I found a better solution and more simpler on this codepen. A demo of the working functionality.
My problem was in the code example above the $(this).off('mouseout'); was removing the mouseout when clicked. So if you were to hover back to that dot on the map and mouseout the 'tooltip' would stay active, it won't disappear when you mouseout, which it should disappear. I couldn't find a way to bind it again so the toggleClass() was much better. I been pulling my hair on this!
$('.map__container span').click(function(mapIcon){
mapIcon.preventDefault();
var icon = $(this).attr('class');
var panel = $(this).attr('class');
$('.panel').removeClass('clicked');
$('.location-title').removeClass('clicked');
$('.panel.' + panel).addClass('clicked');
$('.location-title.' + icon).addClass('clicked');
});
//Show bubbles over dots on map
$('.map__container span').hover(function(){
var hoverdot = $(this).attr('class');
$('.location-title.' + hoverdot).toggleClass('selected');
});
//Show bubbles on hover over anchor links
$('a.location').hover(function(){
var hoverlink = this.id;
$('.location-title.' + hoverlink).toggleClass('selected');
});
//Anchor links show panels and bubbles
$('a.location').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var panel = this.id;
var icon = this.id;
$('.panel').removeClass('clicked');
$('.location-title').removeClass('clicked');
$('.panel.' + panel).addClass('clicked');
$('.location-title.' + icon).addClass('clicked');
});
//back button
$('.back-list').click(function(backButton) {
backButton.preventDefault();
$('.panel').removeClass('clicked');
$('.location-title').removeClass('clicked');
$('.list').addClass('clicked');
});

How to show toolbar ( and hide current ) when click on the next item?

how to show toolbar (and hide current) when i click on next similar element? in my code, when i click on next similar element, toolbar doesn't disappear, he disappears only if i firsly click on body and then on element, how to remove toolbar without clicking to body to show next toolbar? thx!
http://jsfiddle.net/wwL8fgr1/1/
$(".element").on('mouseup', function(e){
$('[el-button]').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
var toolbar = $('<div class="dm-popover"></div>');
if ( !$('.dm-popover').hasClass('in') ) {
setTimeout(function(){
toolbar.addClass('in');
},100);
$('body').prepend(toolbar);
}
toolbar.addClass('dm-link-frontend-control-top');
toolbar.css({
left: $(this).offset().left,
top: $(this).offset().top - toolbar.height() - 10
});
setTimeout(function(){
$('body').on('mouseup', function(e){
if($(e.target).closest(toolbar).length == 0){
$('body').unbind('click', arguments.callee);
toolbar.removeClass('in');
toolbar.remove();
}
});
}, 100);
e.stopPropagation();
});

You can try this
$(".element").on('mouseup', function(e){
$('[el-button]').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
if ( !$('.dm-popover').hasClass('in') )
{
var toolbar = $('<div class="dm-popover"></div>');
setTimeout(function(){
toolbar.addClass('in');
},100);
$('body').prepend(toolbar);
}
else
{
var toolbar = $('.dm-popover');
}
toolbar.addClass('dm-link-frontend-control-top');
toolbar.css({
left: $(this).offset().left,
top: $(this).offset().top - toolbar.height() - 10
});
setTimeout(function(){
$('body').on('mouseup', function(e){
if($(e.target).closest(toolbar).length == 0){
$('body').unbind('click', arguments.callee);
toolbar.removeClass('in');
toolbar.remove();
}
});
}, 100);
e.stopPropagation();
});
See the JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/wwL8fgr1/3/

The code responsible for removing the toolbar is here:
$('body').on('mouseup', function(e){
if($(e.target).closest(toolbar).length == 0){
$('body').unbind('click', arguments.callee);
toolbar.removeClass('in');
toolbar.remove();
}
});
Note this registers a mouseup handler on body. That's why you need to click on body to remove the toolbar. You can attach this handler to the second element, if that's what you expect.
EDIT
My guess is that you wanted to achieve something like in this fiddle. Note that is is suitable for 2 elements only, if you need more similar elements, you'd probably need to make a function to generate id's for you instead of storing them in data- attributes.
My opinion:
Your code seems overly complex - you're using timeouts, swapping css, mouseup instead of click, creating div elements on each click, preventing handler's propagation... Try to make it simpler by removing unnecessary stuff.

hide div on background click

I have a series of divs that reveal on link click. When revealed i'm trying to make them close on background click while maintaining their ability to have the different divs replace each other when different links are clicked.
JS fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/t593pyg9/3/
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.toggle').hide();
$('a.togglelink').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var elem = $(this).next('.toggle')
$('.toggle').not(elem).hide();
elem.toggle();
});
});

Listen to clicks on the entire document, to prevent this from closing the "popup" after clicking it's link due to event propagation add a return false; to the show click listener.
$('.toggle').hide();
$('a.togglelink').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var elem = $(this).next('.toggle')
$('.toggle').not(elem).hide();
elem.toggle();
return false;
});
$(document).on('click',function(e){
$('.toggle').hide();
});
Fiddle
Update
If you want to prevent the popup from hiding on clicking on it add this:
$('.toggle').on('click', function (e) {
return false;
});

how to target event for "shift keydown & click" on a div?

I want to control events when hovering a <div> element.
I have my code pretty much working, but I have 2 remaining problems!
When I first run the code in my JSFiddle, I need to click on the body of the document first to get the keydown to be recognised. If I run the code and hover right away and press shift nothing happens. I have it running on doc ready,so not sure why I need to click first? Anyway to get this to work right way without needing to click?
I trace out in the console the console.log('click and press'); This is getting fired each time I press shift and is not looking for a click - why is this getting fired when pressing shift when I call it within a function that says $(document).on('keydown click', function (e) {
DEMO
My JS code is as follows
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".target").hover(function () {
$(document).on('keydown click', function (e) {
if (e.shiftKey) {
// code to go here for click
console.log('click and press');
}
});
$(document).on('keydown', function (e) {
if (e.shiftKey) {
// change cursor to ne-resize
$('.target').css('cursor', 'ne-resize', 'important');
}
});
$(document).on('keyup', function (e) {
// change cursor to sw-resize
$('.target').css('cursor', 'sw-resize', 'important');
});
});
});
Thanks

Your event binding is incorrect. you can use:
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/g9ea8/8/
Code:
$(document).ready(function () {
var hovering = false;
$(".target").hover(function () {
hovering = true;
}, function() {
hovering = false;
});
$(document).on('click', function (e) {
if (hovering && e.shiftKey) {
// code to go here for click
console.log('hovering+shift+click');
}
});
$(document).on('keydown', function (e) {
if (hovering && e.shiftKey) {
// change cursor to ne-resize
$('.target').css('cursor', 'ne-resize', 'important');
console.log('hovering+shift');
}
});
$(document).on('keyup', function (e) {
// change cursor to sw-resize
if(hovering) {
$('.target').css('cursor', 'sw-resize', 'important');
console.log('hovering+keyup');
}
});
});

The reason why you need to click first on the fiddle demo is because the frame doesn't have focus, normally this should work fine.
You shouldn't be attaching a keydown listener, you only need a to attach click, otherwise keydown will fire the event regardless of a click occurring.
Also, currently you're attaching 3 handlers every time you hover over .target, see #techfoobar's answer for a cleaner solution.
