Question

Does anybody have any code for a jquery context menu? Just need a div popup at pointer position when right mouse button pressed.

Answer 1

Here is a plugin: jQuery Context Menu

Answer 2

This can easily be achieved by using the event listener in jQuery, here is a clean and fast way of doing it:

//Now add the jQuery
$(document).ready(function() { //Just starting up here
  var menu = $('.menu');//get the menu
  $(document).on('contextmenu', function(e) {//What this does is simply; if right-click, run function(contains an event)
    e.preventDefault();//Prevent the default action: the normal right-click-menu to show
    menu.css({
      display: 'block',//show the menu
      top: e.pageY,//make the menu be where you click (y)
      left: e.pageX//make the menu be where you click (x)
    });
  });
  $(document).click(function() { //When you left-click
    menu.css({ display: 'none' });//Hide the menu
  });
});

/* just some css to display it */
.menu {
  background: #fff;
  width: 60px;
  padding: 3px 10px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 10px -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3);
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  display: none;
  position: absolute;//this is important
}

<!-- jQuery CDN --><script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Add some HTML for the menu -->
<div class="menu">
  <p>Option 1</p>
  <p>Option 2</p>
</div>

Here is what I found:

Right Click Context Menu Using Jquery and asp.net - Code Project Article

Plugins tagged Right Click Menu on Jquery website

Interestingly, the dogo library has a standard set of UI widgets, and the context menu is part of that standard UI set. (The dojo library is nice and pretty with a standard look)

Dojo is a separate javascript library just like JQuery. Not sure how completely compatible dojo is with jquery, but there are ways to get them both working together if you want to.

Lord Google gave me most of the answers ;)
