Re: How can I disable the browser's default right click response?

Tried eventPreventDefault?

Hi,

I want to add short context specific help messages when users right-
click into a text box.  Figuring out what button the pressed on the
mouse is a near no-brainer, but how to disable the default browser
response is a puzzler.   I've figured out how to disable right clicks
all together using the native interface:

       public static native void disableContextMenu(Element e) /*-{
               e.oncontextmenu = function() { return false; };
               }-*/;

But then I don't see them either.  All I want is to disable the
default context menu so that I can roll my own.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

Can't you just return false for oncontextmenu ?

Here's a little snippet that doesn't do what I hoped:

public static native void disableContextMenu(Element e) /*-{
e.oncontextmenu = function() { return false; };
}-*/;

And I call that method immediately before I add the minPanel to the
RootPanel:

DataManager.disableContextMenu(mainPanel.getElement());

Now, not only do I not see the default browser behavior, I don't see
right clicks at all. In my TextBox() I added the click handler. When
the handler gets triggered, I get the NativeEvent from the ClickEvent
(NativeEvent nevn = event.getNativeEvent()) in order to detect which
button, etc, and the right button is never caught.
