Event binding clicks with backbone.js & jQuery

$

I need to bind two events in my backbone.js-view in order to toggle a menu. The idea is that if a button with the id #toggler is clicked the menu appears and any click outside the #menu element will hide the menu.

Unfortunately I cannot get this working with backbone's event binding without having the outsideMenuHandler() called on every click regardless if I clicked on the #menu element, or not.

What should I change to make this work?

This is what I have done in backbone.js, which doesn't work as intended:

myView = Backbone.View.extend({    events: {'click #menu': 'insideMenuHandler','click':       'outsideMenuHandler'    }    insideMenuHandler: function(e) {}, // Called when clicking #menu    outsideMenuHandler: function(e) {} // Called on every click both on and off #menu}

Just as a reference, here's what I would do using jQuery alone:

$(document).click(function(event) {    if ( $(event.target).closest('#menu').get(0) == null ) {        $("#menu").slideUp();    }});
