Replace Contextmenu with new menu

[DJ WIce]

Hi all,

I did make a script/css thing to replace the contextmenu on the website with
a new one: http://www.djwice.com/contextmenu.html

It works nice in MSIE, but on Netscape (and probable other browsers) it
stays on the same place (does not "open'' where the mouse is). And the links
do not work when you click on them.

If anyone has sugestions on how to improve it, please let me know.

Thanks,
Wouter

: If you want to extend the possibilities of a context menu, makes much
: more sense to demonstrate to your visitors how to do it efficiently.

: e.g. http://www.mattkruse.com/contextmenu/

Ah you want me to trick visitors to download a .reg and so have my menu :-)
Well, it's just coding for fun :)
Like you must have noticed when the color of the page in NN is like the
default color of NN 7. And in IE it's that of the classic theme.
I did "even" remove the small black line from your browser window ;-)
For that you need not to specify the dtd else it won't work :)

BTW, it works fine in Mozilla 1.5b

No, it does not. "Works fine" is more than just the absence of
JavaScript errors. The scripted context menu neither has the same
options as mozilla, nor do the options change depending on which page
element has focus, nor is it accessible via keyboard.

Functionally, it is vastly inferior to the browser's context menus, so
it does not "work" at all as a replacement.

No, you stated your reason for doing this was in that innovation in
contextmenu was good, and you're right it is, which is why Mozilla, IE
and others allow it to be modified easily.
Like you must have noticed when the color of the page in NN is like the
default color of NN 7.
Who knows what you're talking about?
And in IE it's that of the classic theme.

Why, why not use the colour of my contextmenu if you're wanting to be
consistent?

Sugestion: look at what you see before complaining; click the option on the bottom of the menu...

Didn't see a thing. I use Opera :) Anyway, I did check in IE and
Mozilla ...

Neither allows me to pop the menu down again when it is up, except by
chosing an entry.

I checked in IE and Mozilla as well (versions 6.0 and 1.6 respectively) and
had no problems with the menu. Right-clicking showed the menu, and clicking
outside of it hid it again.

If you can tell me how I could get that information from every IE (or NN)
visitor I would. I did not know that it was possible.

True.

: element has focus
I'm working on that. Checking if there is a selection or a field focus.

: nor is it accessible via keyboard.
False, use your contextmenu key, use your arrow down if you use MSIE or elke
tab (I do not yet know how to enable arrow keys in NN.
I just think focus the next element of the <a href=""> array and with the
final (just check the name) the x elements before the current).

That's just a mather of tast, but of cause, it's just a test case to script
some, so don't worry.

Thanks, :-)
