I had such issue with a personal project.... problem which I "solved" by setting a variable "gEscBindsTo" [self-explaining-name ;-)] but that was just my case.. and it was very specific...
Would this work for you??? >> http://blog.kassens.net/outerclick-event [hope you don't mind Jan ;-)] About the ESC key, I don't know who gets the event 1st... thats not clear to me, as it seems to be different across browsers, which would pose a problem... If there weren't any inconsistencies, you could attach to the "keydown::ESC", stop event propagation, and then detach after hiding the widget... just some ideas here... not quite sure though (it all dependes on the flow of the event) Another idea I would like to throw... What about surrounding the whole widget on a DIV and attach the mouseleave that would close it? I've seen it working like that on some multi-level drop-downs built using pure CSS, the concept is the same... not sure if that's suitable in this situation....
