    Simulate Contextual Menu

    Has anyone ever considered making a simulated contextual menu. I know
    that you can sometimes trap a right click or option click. Why not open
    up a window that would act as a menu when this happens?

    It would be a challenge to actually have existing contextual menu
    options along with your added ones. Any ideas on how to do this or has
    it been done?

      Doesn't work in Opera 7...
      I mean, the context-menu. I just get the normal one.

      Worked in NN7, though. Looked nice, too.

        Even if I allow Javascript to receive right clicks, it still doesn't
        work. I get no menu at all then.

          and my reply is:
          Looks good. I'll have to take a closer look at the code when I have a
          chance. I still would like it to act more like a contextual menu. Open
          on mouse down, close on mouse up, etc.
