help with toggle

[Jaynesh]

hello

I have this script which is a drop down menu. When the button is clicked it toggles the menu to be displayed. When the button is clicked again it toggles the menu to be hidden.

$(function() {

    var button = $('.button');
    var menu = $('.menu');

    
    $('ul li a', menu).each(function() {
        $(this).append('<span />');
    });
    
    button.toggle(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        menu.css({display: 'block'});
        $('.ar', this).html('▲').css({top: '3px'});
        $(this).addClass('active');
    },function() {
        menu.css({display: 'none'});
        $('.ar', this).html('▼').css({top: '5px'});
        $(this).removeClass('active');
        
    });
    
    

        
        
});

How can I make it so when the toggle menu is active, and I click on the menu or on the outside it is hidden again.
At the moment it will only hide itself if the button is clicked on again.

Regards

Perhaps try something like

$(".button").blur(function() {
$(".menu").hide();
});
