Context Right Click Menu visible forever

In case I use the Context Right Click Menu and I click the right mousebutton, the context menu appears and clicking on a menu item everything works exelent. However, in the case I choose for not selecting an item I have the folowing problem:
The Context Right Click Menu disappears only after hovering over the menu itself and moving then outside the menu. When I move the mousepointer away from the context menu without first going inside the menu it stays there forever until I move the pointer in and out the menu. Does an option exist that closes the contect menu in the case I do not click on it or hover over it and move away with the pointer?

Hi,

I don't know of anything that will do that. However, you could use a function and put either an item that says Close, or an item with a little X image in it.

The function would go in the data file for the context menu, up by the top

Code:
function mm_closeClickedMenu()
{
  menuDisplay(_mi[_itemRef][0], 0);
}


Then in the item, you'd have
Code:
aI("text=Close Menu;url=javascript:mm_closeClickedMenu();");


Or if you had an image, you'd have it set up as
Code:
aI("image=close.gif;imagealign=right;imagepadding=2;itemwidth=whatever you want for width;url=javascript:mm_closeClickedMenu();");


Of course you'd set the image where you want it, and whatever padding and itemwidth and height.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, this works and helps the user that lost his way.
Is there also a possibility for a kind of 'menuCloseDelay' option?

Hi,

As far as I know it would use the menuCloseDelay in the menu_data.js file.

There is also a dynamic right click context menu. This was done for a user who wanted to have different context menus depending on whether the person right clicked on the page, or right clicked on a link. On a link the context menu includes open and open in a new window.

If you download this, make sure you download the contextmenu.js since this is not included.
