I am trying to prepare a custom dropdown control for my application. The requirement is here.
Main stream: If I click on the text field, a div will open, and the user needs to select an element from the div. the selected item must be filled in the text box.
Alternative stream: if the user clicks on a text field and then clicks somewhere on the screen, except for the pop-up div, the pop-up div should close.
I can easily reach the main thread. I cannot use the script code for the alternate stream I mentioned. I tried a simple blur event, it did not work.
Please help me solve the problem.
HTML
<input type="text" class="display-none food-textbox" id="txtFood" value="None"/>
<div class="food-dropdown display-none">
<div class="food-item">Curled Spinach</div>
<div class="food-item">Veg Mayo</div>
<div class="food-item">French Toast</div>
<input type="hidden" id="hdnFoodTargetTxt"/>
</div>
JQuery Code:
$('.food-textbox').on('click', function () {
var positionOfTb = $(this).offset();
var widthofTb = $(this).width();
$('.food-dropdown').removeClass('display-none').offset({ top: positionOfTb.top, left: positionOfTb.left }).css('width', widthofTb + 10);
$('.food-dropdown').focus();
$('#hdnFoodTargetTxt').val($(this).attr('id'));
});
$('.food-item').on('click', function () {
var targetTxt = '#' + $('#hdnFoodTargetTxt').val();
$(targetTxt).val($(this).html());
$(targetTxt).next().eq(0).val($(this).html());
$('.food-dropdown').addClass('display-none');
});
