Title Body

I have this html/css code: <body>  <?php require("snippets/header_area.php"); ?>  <div id = "presentation_area"> <div id = "submenu_area"> <div id = "sliding_menu_area"> </div> <div id = "tags"> <div id = "1"> <img src = "lang/el/images/1.png" /> </div> <div id = "2"> <img src = "lang/el/images/2.png" /> </div> <div id = "3"> <img src = "lang/el/images/3.png" /> </div> <div id = "4"> <img src = "lang/el/images/4.png" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> I am trying to trigger a function when the user clicks on everything else except for the #sub_menu_area . I use the following part of js: $('*').not('#submenu_area').click(function(){ if(slide == "open"){ $('#sliding_menu_area').toggle(effect); slide = "close"; } }); Unfortunately the children somehow are not excluded and on click it toggles a lot of times. Does anyone know how to do it properly?! :) EDIT: So what I need is a jquery selector to get properly: on click of all elements of body EXCEPT for #submenu_area and its descendants .
