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

Hmm.. I do not get the menucolor of the Netscape theme.
Only of the system, so it should now work for MSIE since it would get the
right color, but not (yet) in NN.
If one would know how to get that, it would be nice :-)

False, use your contextmenu key, use your
tab
Context menus do not require the use of the tab key. To anyone
accustomed to using context menus via keyboard, your menu will appear to
be dysfunctional when they find the arrow keys have no effect.
: Functionally, it is vastly inferior to the browser's context menus
That's just a mather of tast,
No, it's a matter of fact. I've already listed the deficiencies.
but of cause, it's just a test case to script
some, so don't worry.

I worry because some clueless deezyner is going to see your sample,
think it's a neat idea, and implement it on their site. We already have
enough unusable sites out there, please don't add to the dung pile.

I just wrote in the prevous message how I will solve that :-)

BTW I'm not the first, making such menu, I saw on internet two pages who
sell it for $99 and $78. But they do only respond to right click and they
both have no arrow keys enabled. By the way, that menu does not change if
there is something selected of if there is a field focus. I'm planning to
make that happen, but I thing selection detecting is very hard. Since you'll
get an error if there is nothing selected.
