Creating a Custom Context Menu using HTML CSS & JavaScript | WEB DESIGN

Using some basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript you are able to create a custom context menu for your next website or web application.

Source Code:

Please keep in mind that it may be considered poor practice to modify the default behaviour of the web browser but it could be necessary in some cases- use your judgement wisely :)

Using this example you're able to create a context menu with "items" that link to other web pages or perform a particular action - I did not cover this area in this video as I'd assume it would be quite straightforward (and to keep the length down!)

In this video I'll take you through the process of developing this context menu, which includes adding the HTML, CSS and of course the JavaScript in order to make it happen.

Excellent job, especially about the fact that the context menu gets out of the screen.
I am always impressed by people who share their knowledge. BRAVO

The Codepen als well as my code wont work without adding "px" (cm.style.top = e.y + "px";) to the top and left style value, just a hint for other users

thank you very much :) i guess you can reduce the context menu to a certain div instead of the whole window?
