$('body').click(function(e){
if( e.target.id == 'bbb' )
{ return true; }
else
{ $('#bbb').hide(); }
});
A note of explanation: There are a few ways to do this, either way we need to listen for a click on a parent element, weather it be a direct parent like #aaa or a distant parent like the body or the document . This way we can capture clicks that occur outside of #bbb .
Now that we have that we need the .hide to NOT occur if the user did click inside of #bbb . We can do this two ways
Stop propagation if the user clicks on
#bbb. This will make the click event not 'bubble' up to the parent. That way the click event never reaches the parent and so#bbbwill not hide. I personally don't like this method because stop propagation will so ALL click events from bubbling, and you may have click events that you would like to bubble to a local parent and not a distant parent. Or you may have listeners delegated from a distant parent, which will stop working if click propagation is stopped.Check for the
#bbbelement in the parent listener. This is the method shown above. Basically this listens on a distant parent, and when a click occurs it checks to see if that click is on#bbbspecifically. If it IS NOT on#bbb.hideis fired, otherwise it returns true, so other things that may be tied into theclickevent will continue working. I prefer this method for that reason alone, but secondarily its a-little bit more readable and understandable.
Finally the manner in which you check to see if the click originated at #bbb you have many options. Any will work, the pattern is the real meat of this thing.

New suggestion, leverage event bubbling without jQuery.
var isOutSide = true
bbb = documment.getElementById('bbb');
document.body.addEventListener('click', function(){
if(!isOutSide){
bbb.style.display = 'none';
}
isOutSide = true;
});
bbb.addEventListener('click', function(){
isOutSide = false;
});

Catch the click event as it bubbles-up to the document element. When it hits the document element, hide the element. Then in a click event handler for the element, stop the propagation of the event so it doesn't reach the document element:
$(function () {
$(document).on('click', function () {
$('#bbb').hide();
});
$('#bbb').on('click', function (event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
});
Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/KVXNL/

I made a plugin that does this. It preserves the value for this where as these other solutions' this value will refer to document .
https://github.com/tylercrompton/clickOut
Use:
$('#bbb').clickOut(function () {
$(this).hide();
});

You can use target property of the event object, try the following:
$(document).click(function(e) {
if (e.target.id != 'bbb') {
$('#bbb').hide();
}
})

This will work
$("#aaa").click(function(){
$('#bbb').hide();
});
$("#bbb").click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
})
Becouse bbb is inside the aaa the event will "bubbel up to aaa ". So you have to stop the bubbling by using the event.stopPropagation when bbb is clicked

OK
* this is none jquery. you can easly modify it to work with IE
first create helper method to facilitate codding don't get confused with JQuery $()
function $g(element) {
return document.getElementById(element);
}
create our listener class
function globalClickEventListener(obj){
this.fire = function(event){
obj.onOutSideClick(event);
}
}
let's say we need to capture every click on document body
so we need to create listeners array and initialize our work. This method will be called on load
function initialize(){
// $g('body') will return reference to our document body. parameter 'body' is the id of our document body
$g('body').globalClickEventListeners = new Array();
$g('body').addGlobalClickEventListener = function (listener)
{
$g('body').globalClickEventListeners.push(listener);
}
// capture onclick event on document body and inform all listeners
$g('body').onclick = function(event) {
for(var i =0;i < $g('body').globalClickEventListeners.length; i++){
$g('body').globalClickEventListeners[i].fire(event);
}
}
}
after initialization we create event listener and pass reference of the object that needs to know every clcik on our document
function goListening(){
var icanSeeEveryClick = $g('myid');
var lsnr = new globalClickEventListener(icanSeeEveryClick);
// add our listener to listeners array
$g('body').addGlobalClickEventListener(lsnr);
// add event handling method to div
icanSeeEveryClick.onOutSideClick = function (event){
alert('Element with id : ' + event.target.id + ' has been clicked');
}
}
* Take into account the document body height and width
* Remove event listeners when you don't need them

$(document).click(function(event) {
if(!$(event.target).closest('#elementId').length) {
if($('#elementId').is(":visible")) {
$('#elementId').hide('fast');
}
}
})
Change the "#elementId" with your div.
