Question

I would like to know if someone has selected text on my page so I can display a context menu right where their cursor is. But I only want to display it if they have selected text by double-clicking the text. Is this possible?

I think it’s possible because the same thing happens in I.E with that blue accelerator button thing.

Answer 1

Wouldn’t this be enough?

Here’s the code if you don’t want to follow the link:

<div id="target">
  Double-click here
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$('#target').dblclick(function() {
  alert('Handler for .dblclick() called.');
});
</script>
