Hi,
When I click on a link it shows a div above all other elements of my
page (a kind of popup). I would like to close it(hide the div again)
when the user clicks anywhere on the screen. How can i do that? The
'event listener' should only be activated if the div is visible.

thanks

<body onclick='if(thatDivDisplayBlock)thatDivDisplayNone()'>

Thanks.
I can't access the body from my page as it is in a master page (i'm
doing asp.net). However I have a javascript function bodyLoad() which
is called at body load and in which I can do stuff. How can I assigne
the onclick event in this function ?

I would have no idea about "bodyLoad()": if this is asp.net, better ask
an asp.net group.

What is a master-page? Are you using iframes? Or is the <body> set in a
include?

what about:

body.onload = myfunc; // Use no () !

function myfunc() {
if (thatDiv.display != 'none') // this line could be skipped ;-)
thatDiv.display = 'none';
};

not tested
