Consequently, one has to use a workaround by adding a listener to the contextmenu event- this does not appear to the most graceful solution. For an implementation of this workaround, see http://pastebin.com/7kS8tu2W My preferred solution would be a property on both events that indicates the element that triggered the context menu to appear. ================================================================================ 74619 1 ian 2012-09-27 04:00:58 +0000 Hm, yeah. I guess I should set relatedTarget on the 'click' event of events fired on elements in a context menu to point to the element that had the contextmenu attribute. Would that work? 74666 2 bugzilla.w3c 2012-09-27 20:32:15 +0000 That would likely work, yes. Unsure if there are similar events that would benefit from such a property though. 80678 3 ian 2012-12-29 16:48:35 +0000 I guess we need a new event type interface that has relatedTarget, since contextmenu and show are sometimes simple events, not mouse events. 80680 4 ian 2012-12-29 17:19:31 +0000 similar to: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#events-FocusEvent 85528 5 contributor 2013-04-03 20:23:40 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r7791.
