Disable class upon clicking outside the element

Whenever I click outside and the default text reloads, I want the previously clicked class to be removed. For example, if I select "Fair Trade" and it changes color to red, that selection should fade away when I click outside and the default text reappears, similar to how it fades away when I click on another title.

var $imgs = $(".section-link");

Answer №1

Include this line to the code: $($imgs).removeClass('clicked')

var $imgs = $(".section-link");

var data = [{
        title: "Fair Trade",

Answer №2

The non-breaking tag I used for fair-trade caused a disruption in my logic, so I decided to remove it;

Other than that adjustment, this modification should align with your specifications.

var $imgs = $(".section-link");


var data = [{
    title: "Fair Trade",
    text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
  },
  {
    title: "Toxicfree",
    text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
  },
  {
    title: "Quality",
    text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
  },
  {
    title: "Organic",
    text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
  },
  {
    title: "Vegan",
    text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
  },
];

// Get reference to the output area
var $outputDiv = $(".section-display");
var defaulttext = $outputDiv.find(".text1").html()
var defaultTitle = $outputDiv.find(".title1").html();

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

$imgs.on("click", function() {
