I disabled all my Firefox extensions and re-enabled them one by one  
and found the culprit responsible for causing the misplacement of the  
menus. All-in-One Gestures 0.18.0 extension. Not sure what can be  
done about it :/

Thanks for this nice plugin, perfect for intranet or such indeed.
I've tested your demo page with :
Safari 2
Firefox 2 mac (extensions : Firebug, Selenium IDE, codetech,  
cssViewer, dummy lipsum, errorzilla mod, measureit, newsfox,  
quickrestart, tab mix plus, view source chart, web developer)

Both worked as expected.

With Mac FF 2.0.0.2 on the demo page, when I right-click on the areas  
indicated, the menu does appear (unlike my earlier feedback) *except*  
that it is positioned way up the page so you have to scroll up to see  
it. It seems that page scroll is not accounted for when positioning  
the menu (for Mac FF only - works fine in Safari and I have not

Just letting you know. Love the plugin.

I know you're working on it, but in regards to the relevant context subject I
just discovered that Yahoo!Mail has this implemented very nicely with menus
relevant to what you are clicking on.  You can even rename folders as though
it were your desktop.  Yahoo! has it's own libraries of course, but I don't
see anything that shouldn't be doable with jQuery.

Anyway, just thought it might be useful for you.

Hi again Chris,

One (fairly specific) bug report:  for my particular application[*], I
use client-side imagemaps with events attached to them to select items
on a server-drawn image and pop up a properties box. I just tried adding
context-menus to this, since it'd be a pretty nice addition.

It seems that in IE6, you can't attach context menus to AREA tags, but
in Firefox and Safari you can. Regular click events do work, because
that's what I use currently for my properties popup. I am planning to
add draggable elements to the map though, so I was hoping to push what
is currently a click into a context menu, to save me having to figure
out if the user is clicking, double-clicking or dragging.

Of course, it's quite possible this is an IE6 wierdness, or even the
spec. I find that AREA is the poor cousin in HTML/DOM docs generally.

Chris,

This is a really nice plugin! One suggestion that springs to mind for it
though - the "context" part of context menu always implied to me that
the options are relevant to the thing being clicked on. Is there any way
to get a callback just before the menu is shown, which is passed the id
of the clicked object? This way round, it would allow a single
class-selector to add all the menus, even though the specific menu might
be slightly different for each item.

The situation I am thinking of is in something like Request Tracker
(www.bestpractical.com), where you get a list of search results, each of
which has a series of verbs that could be applied to it. However,
depending on your permissions, you might not be able to perform all of
those on all objects. A simple callback that allowed some user-supplied
function to mess with the menu a little before it was shown could allow
those items to be greyed-out/hidden/whatever based on external data
(which is the user's problem, not yours, then).

If I get some spare time, I might have a try at add this functionality
myself, if other commitments allow, just to get my feet wet with jQuery
plugins too :-)

Hi Jorn,

Seems like you didn't like the Tooltip approach of prividing only the

very basics of inline-styles and the rest via stylesheets.



Yeah the whole styling thing was something I wasn't too sure about. On the
one hand I thought it might be handy not to have to worry about a separate
css file, and just bundle all the styling into the plugin. But I might
reconsider in light of the points you've made. I'll send you an email off
list to pick your brain :)

Great job!

Seems like you didn't like the Tooltip approach of prividing only the 
very basics of inline-styles and the rest via stylesheets.

You could move both hiding of the menu on page load (doesn't work 
without JS) and most of the formatting styles into a stylesheet, I'd 
prefer that solution.

It's difficult to override the default inline-styles from a stylesheet, 
and I like to keep that seperated.

I'm curious about more features to come, and will keep this in mind to 
use it on the first possible occasion.

Seems very responsive too. One thing I'll throw out there for you to think
about. I built a map for a browser based game called Travian a while back.
One of the things my map did (over the in-game map) was that you could right
click on a player and get a list of options. The catch was that the options
were unique to that player. Right clicking on "me", gave you options that
only affected me, while right clicking on "the other guy" only gave you
options for him. It's probably not something that many people  would need,
but it's something to consider.
 
Anyway, good work on the menu!

This is some great work Chris - I really like it. I know many people  
will be wanting to use it!

I tried your demo in Mac FF2 and the menu did not appear but the  
default menu was suppressed. I think maybe it's possible that one of  
my extensions interferes with it. I have NoScript (but allowed your  
domain), adblock, Firebug, WebDeveloper, and All-in-one Gestures.

I then tried it in Safari and it works great. Well done!

Hey Chris, nice work!

The images (for the icons) in your example are lacking the alt attribute 
  though. But I'd put these into the CSS anyway!

Hi Glen, thanks for the ideas.

Just as a styling suggestion.  Would it be hard to enable Office 2007 style

on it?



No, shouldn't be too difficult. Would have to put some logic in to support
icon column. You could set a background image in menuStyle to emulate this.

1. Ability to disable/gray out a choice (maybe with a 50% opacity layer?)




Good idea. How about I pass the clicked option to the handler as a second
parameter? Then you could define your own logic and styling.

2. Enable/Disable Icon runer column on left.




Hmm good idea. But again you may be able to do this using the current
styling options.

3. Seperators.




This is currently in the works :)

4. Cascading choices > (Ok, now I've gone too far!)




Yep also coming down the track

5. Shadow on the whole box.




Not a major priority at the moment

Chris, your plugin is really good!  RIght-clickin kicks ass.
