Dear All
I have a project on making a UI of a Web page that allows users to:
1. select any text by highlighting it, and
2. do some action on it by right-clicking on the highlighted text and choose
an action among those options presented by the context menu items that
appears.
3. send the chosen action along with the text and its attributes to the
server as the user clicks on the desired menu item.
Interestingly, the next stage is to make the menu items customised by the
type of the selected text, e.g. a link or an ordinary body text.
Does anyone know if all these can be done fully using ASP.Net at the server
side?
Could anyone help, please?
Many thanks in advance.

No. Server-side code can only respond to form submissions. It cannot respond
to client events unless client-side script causes a postback to occur. In
this case a postback may be a less-than-ideal experience for the user. You
might want to look into AJAX (google for this term). In any case, you will
probably get more help in a client-side scripting or dhtml newsgroup

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a newsgroup where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.aspnet.

Hi everyone,
This one is better experienced than explained, so I'm including a code
sample below. Please and save (as an html file) and view with NN or

(The menu opens)
(2.) Move to any of the sub-menu items.
(3.) Click on the left or right (but NOT on the text) of the current

If you look at explorer, right clicking on a file, first selects the file,
then throws up the context menu relating to that selection.
With a Windows ListBox control and a simple context menu, the default
behaviour seems to display the context menu on the listbox, but there is no
selection.
Now I know that explorer's using a listview, and that the context menu acts
differently if you click on open space (no selection), but can I...
