Answer 1

Try with following code:

 $(document).ready(function(){ var aTag = $("aA"); var divTarget = $("div.click"); $(document).click(function(e){ var target = $(e.target); if(target.is(aTag)){ if(divTarget.hasClass("B")) divTarget.removeClass("B"); else divTarget.addClass("B"); } else if(!target.is(divTarget)) { $(divTarget).removeClass("B"); } }); }) 

 .B{ color: blue} 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <a class='A'>Link A</a> <div class='click'>Click Div</div> <div class='click1'>Click Div 1</div> <div class='click2'>Click Div 2</div>

As I understand you right, you talk about something like this:

$(document).on('click',function(){
       $('.A').removeClass('B');
    });
$('.A').on('click',function(e){
       $('.A').addClass('B');
       e.stopImmediatePropagation();
       return false;
    });

Answer 3

Assuming I understand your question, I add class B to .click if you click on A, clicking anywhere else, I remove it

  $(function() { $(document).on("click", function(event) { var $tgt = $(event.target); $(".click").toggleClass("B", $tgt.hasClass('A')) }); }); 

 .B { color:red } 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <a class='A'>Click here</a> <div class='click'>Text</div> 

Answer 4

If I understand you correctly, this should work...

$('.a').on('click', function(){

    $(this).addClass('B');
});

$('.click').on('click', function(){

    $('.a').removeClass('B');
});

Clicking on the 'a' tag will add the class B to the 'div' with the class click .

When anything but the 'div' with the class click is clicked the class B is removed.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".A").on("click", function() {
        $(".click").addClass("B");
        return false;  // prevents the page from being reloaded
    });
    $(document).on("click", function() {
        if(!$(this).hasClass('click')) {
            $(".click").removeClass("B");
        }
        return false;
    });
});
