Doug,
I looked at source codes for clickmenu & contextmenu to figure out the
same thing, and the below variation works for me.
1) Add this to your openMe function:
$(document.body).mousedown(function(e){
if ($(e.target).parents("#mymenu").length == 0) closeMe();
});
2) And in closeMe, add: $(document.body).unbind("mousedown");
3) And in your the action of any of your menu items call "closeMe()".
This works because the mousedown event is triggered BEFORE any click
handlers (prevents any click handlers that return false from
preventing your closeMe call). We also check in the mousedown handler
to see if the user is mousedown'ing on your menu, and if so, don't
close the menu because your menu items will not receive the click
event if so.
Good luck,
Gary
