Question

Hey is it possible to add a oncontextmenu to an element via JavaScript if you use appendChild???

I set my div like this:

var d = document.createElement('div');
d.id = 'G';
d.className = 'Ouput';  
document.getElementById('E').appendChild(d);    

But I’m wondering how i add:

oncontextmenu="return false;"

Can it be added to the Div properties before I append child or do I have to add it afterwards some how ?

Answer 1

You can add the oncontextmenu before or after the div is added to the dom but use a function instead of a string.

var d = document.createElement('div');
d.id = 'G';
d.className = 'Ouput';
d.oncontextmenu = function(){return false};
document.getElementById('E').appendChild(d);
