Question

This question has been asked multiple times, however none of the answers seem to work for me.

The css of the div is as follows:

#info{
  display: none;
  position: fixed;
  z-index: 500;
  height: 50%;
  width: 60%;
  overflow: auto;
  background: rgba(187, 187, 187, .8);
}

I tried to use the following code:

$("#info").click(function(e){
  e.stopPropagation();
});

$(document).click(function(){
  $("#info").hide();
});

as well as this code:

$(document).mouseup(function (e){
    var container = $("#info");

    if (container.has(e.target).length === 0) {
        container.hide();
    }
});

Yet whenever i click on the div it also disappears, no clue why but it does.
Any thing else that might work?

As your target has id=info, so you can try:

$(document).click(function(e) {

  // check that your clicked
  // element has no id=info

  if( e.target.id != 'info') {
    $("#info").hide();
  }
});

You can also try:

$(document).click(function() {

  if( this.id != 'info') {
    $("#info").hide();
  }

});

According to comment

$(document).click(function(e) {

    // check that your clicked
    // element has no id=info
    // and is not child of info
    if (e.target.id != 'info' && !$('#info').find(e.target).length) {
        $("#info").hide();
    }
});
