>>I have a html form which runs in a browser object on a form. This all works fine so far, but now there's an additional requirement to have a context menu as if it was a Fox form. I've hooked up the onclick() event of each of my input elements (tried with oncontextmenu() as well, to the same effect), like this - first, the JavaScript part:
>>
>>

function rclick(e)
>>{
>>if (event.button==2)
>>	{	var targ
>>		if (!e) var e = window.event
>>		if (e.target) targ = e.target
>>		else if (e.srcElement) targ = e.srcElement
>>		oFrm=document.forms[0];
>>		oFrm.action="rc:"+targ.name;
>>		oFrm.submit();
>>		return false;
>>	}
>>}

>>
>>and each control has something like this:
>>
>>

<INPUT onmouseup=rclick(event); class=FieldData id=_20Z0XI6JV
>>onchange=changed(this); name=_20Z0XI6JV>

>>
>>In oBrowser.beforenavigate2() I'm catching the rc: "protocol" and going through my code which should react on that - so far, so good. The code is only a messagebox, for now. Tried with a wait window, the same happens: after my code exits, the browser object's own context menu shows. Since my intent is to run my own context menu, this is obviously a bad GUI. In all the JS samples I could find, a "return false" is supposed to suppress the browser's context menu, but I guess the form.submit() somehow circumvents the code before it gets to "return false".

keyboard "{ESC}" plain clear

For any lurkers out there, who didn't stumble into this yet, here's the solution:

>>if (event.button==2)
>> { var targ
>> if (!e) var e = window.event
>> if (e.target) targ = e.target
>> else if (e.srcElement) targ = e.srcElement
e.returnValue=false;
>> oFrm=document.forms[0];
>> oFrm.action="rc:"+targ.name;
>> oFrm.submit();
>> return false;
>> }
>>}

The event.returnValue seems to exist in IE only - but then that's what I'm using.

Feels unnatural to star my own message, but it took me three days to find this - may save some time to someone else.
