I'm having some trouble with my Tailwind CSS and jQuery setup.
After trying a few different things, I can't seem to get it working quite right. In the code below, you'll see that I have placed a focusout event on the outer div containing the dropdown code. When the search box is opened, it will open and focus correctly. However, when I click on a person in the dropdown list (which should select them and add a checkbox next to their name), the dropdown closes.
It seems that even though the <a tag gets focus, I thought the parent <div tag would still retain focus since the <a tag is within it. This doesn't happen with the search box – typing works fine and retains focus there. It's a bit confusing.
<div id="select_users" style="">
<script type="text/javascript">
function fn_assigned_users() {
// JavaScript function here
}
// Additional JavaScript functions and logic here.
</script>
<div class="w-60">
<div class="relative mt-2">
// HTML input and button elements here
</div>
</div>
I'm aiming to keep the dropdown open while any interaction occurs inside it – whether through typing or clicking. The goal is for it to automatically close only when clicking, typing, or tabbing outside of the section.
