my objective is to attach a context menu (vista and win7) whenever user right clicks a picture/file.
I’ve got the file portion down (ie, they right click on a file and my menu shows up) but I am having trouble understanding what I would need to do in terms of right clicking in firefox or ie .
I am trying to add a context menu whenever someone right clicks on an image file in IE or firefox. is that possible?
The best solution would be to develop a plug-in for the browser used by your user, whether it be for Internet Explorer, FireFox or Chrome etc..
Trying to create some sort of hack will only lead to a bad experience for your user so it’s better to develop something that would work properly.
Here’s a few links to get you going in the right direction:
Google Chrome: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/write-chrome-extension/
Mozilla FireFox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Plug-in_Development_Overview
(I can’t seem to find any for Internet Explorer)
I’m sorry i cannot give you a definitive answer but hopefully this should get the ball rolling for you at least.
