I spoke a bit too soon. Clicking 'outside' (ie, not on any of the menu items) should close any open menu. I had been successfully using this technique <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20186438/angular-click-outside-of-an-element-event> which (briefly) puts a directive on the outer container that looks like: link: function(scope, elem, attr, ctrl) { elem.bind('click', function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); }); $document.bind('click', function() { scope.$apply(attr.clickedoutside); }); }
That worked when I used ng-click in the template, but the *element.on* in the plunk doesn't seem to work. I'm not an expert in the event model, but shouldn't the event trigger first go to the inner handler before going to the handler on the outer element? Updated plunk showing problem <http://plnkr.co/edit/vV2OSPEG0i7WGB4JSrWy?p=preview>. Comment out the e.stopPropagation() and the menus open (but clickoutside no longer works) Danny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
