title: AngularJS : Listen for click events on a button outside of a directive
body: <p>I am new to angularjs. I am building an angularjs SPA. The application page has two sections - a buttons area and a application area. The application area is where my views are loaded. The buttons area is the same for each view, hence I do not include it in the views template but rather keep it in the application window. My problem is that I would like the various directives that I load into the application area to respond to clicks in the buttons area. How do I listen to click (or any other event) that originate outside of a directive? Thanks much in advance!</p>
