This page describes the contextmenu
event. For the deprecated .contextmenu()
method, see .contextmenu()
.
The contextmenu
event is sent to an element when the right button of the mouse is clicked on it, but before the context menu is displayed. In case the context menu key is pressed, the event is triggered on the html
element or the currently focused element. Any HTML element can receive this event.
For example, consider the HTML:
1
2
3
|
|
The event handler can be bound to the <div>
as follows:
1
2
3
|
|
Now right-clicking on this element displays the alert:
Handler for `contextmenu` called.
To trigger the event manually, use .trigger( "contextmenu" )
:
1

Examples:
To show a "Hello World!" alert box when the contextmenu event is triggered on a paragraph on the page:
1
2
3
|

Right click to toggle background color.
