Hi
No, I mean that if you call bind() on the document, you only add the
event handler to the document. Not to every element in it.
The reason it reacts to a click everywhere is "event bubbling" (google
it).
I said that you should bind to the document, and then, inside the
function, figure out whether the clicked element is a textarea and if
it's not... then do w/e you need to do.
$(document).bind('click', function(e){
if( e.target.nodeName == 'TEXTAREA' )
return;
// do stuff
});
Cheers
