In some cases  Jason s answer is overkill  And     ui-widget-overlay   click function        dialog   dialog  close        doesn t always work with dynamic content   The solution that I find works in all cases is      body   on  click    ui-widget-overlay  function        dialog   dialog  close

A bit late but this is a solution that worked for me  Perfect if your modal is inside the overlay tag  So  the modal will close when you click anywhere outside the modal content   HTML   lt div class  modal  gt       lt div class  overlay  gt       lt div class  modal-content  gt         lt p gt HELLO WORLD  lt  p gt       lt  div gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt    JS    document  on  click   function event      if    event target  has   modal-content   length            modal   hide              Here is a working example

If you have several dialogs that could be opened on a page  this will allow any of them to be closed by clicking on the background      body   on  click    ui-widget-overlay   function             ui-dialog   filter function          return   this  css  display        block          find   ui-dialog-content   dialog  close           Only works for modal dialogs  as it relies on   ui-widget-overlay   And it does close all open dialogs any time the background of one of them is clicked

If you d like to do it for all dialogs throughout the site try the following code       extend    ui dialog prototype options         open  function             var dialog   this              ui-widget-overlay   bind  click   function                   dialog  dialog  close

Facing the same problem  I have created a small plugin that enables to close a dialog when clicking outside of it whether it a modal or non-modal dialog  It supports one or multiple dialogs on the same page   More information on my website here  http   www coheractio com blog closing-jquery-ui-dialog-widget-when-clicking-outside  Laurent

When creating a JQuery Dialog window  JQuery inserts a ui-widget-overlay class   If you bind a click function to that class to close the dialog  it should provide the functionality you are looking for   Code will be something like this  untested        ui-widget-overlay   click function         dialog   dialog  close          Edit  The following has been tested for Kendo as well       k-overlay   click function                  var popup       dialogId   data  kendoWindow                if  popup                  popup close
