I am trying to show a description when hovering over an option in a select list, however, I am having trouble getting the code to recognize when hovering.
Relevant code:
Select chunk of form:
<select name="optionList" id="optionList" onclick="rankFeatures(false)" size="5"></select>
<select name="ranks" id="ranks" size="5"></select>
Manipulating selects (arrays defined earlier):
function rankFeatures(create) {
var $optionList = $("#optionList");
var $ranks = $("#ranks");
if(create == true) {
for(i=0; i<5; i++){
$optionList.append(features[i]);
};
}
else {
var index = $optionList.val();
$('#optionList option:selected').remove();
$ranks.append(features[index]);
};
}
This all works. It all falls apart when I try to deal with hovering over options:
$(document).ready(
function (event) {
$('select').hover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
alert('yeah!');
};
})
})
I found that code while searching through Stack Exchange, yet I am having no luck getting it to work. The alert occurs when I click on an option. If I don't move the mouse and close the alert by hitting enter, it goes away. If I close out with the mouse a second alert window pops up. Just moving the mouse around the select occasionally results in an alert box popping up.
I have tried targeting the options directly, but have had little success with that. How do I get the alert to pop up if I hover over an option?
You can use the mouseenter event.
And you do not have to use all this code to check if the element is an option.
Just use the .on() syntax to delegate to the select element.
$(document).ready(function(event) {
$('select').on('mouseenter','option',function(e) {
alert('yeah');
// this refers to the option so you can do this.value if you need..
});
});

try with mouseover. Its working for me. Hover also working only when the focus comes out from the optionlist(like mouseout).
function (event) {
$('select').mouseover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
alert('yeah!');
};
})
})
You don't need to rap in in a function, I could never get it to work this way. When taking it out works perfect. Also used mouseover because hover is ran when leaving the target.
$('option').mouseover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
console.log('yeah!');
};
})
Fiddle to see it working. Changed it to console so you don't get spammed with alerts. http://jsfiddle.net/HMDqb/
That you want is to detect hover event on option element, not on select:
$(document).ready(
function (event) {
$('#optionList option').hover(function(e) {
console.log(e.target);
});
})
I have the same issue, but none of the solutions are working.
$("select").on('mouseenter','option',function(e) {
$("#show-me").show();
});
$("select").on('mouseleave','option',function(e) {
$("#show-me").hide();
});
$("option").mouseover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
alert('yeah!');
};
});
Here my jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/ajg99wsm/
I would recommend to go for a customized variant if you like to ease
capture hover events
change hover color
same behavior for "drop down" and "all items" view
plus you can have
resizeable list
individual switching between single selection and multiple selection mode
more individual css-ing
multiple lines for option items
Just have a look to the sample attached.

When you click inside the input box of my to-do list and hit enter, a tiny line is added to the list. (When you enter text, the line height is regular height.) What could be causing this?
Please view my CodePen for my full code.
I'm not sure this is relevant, but here's my JavaScript:
$(function() {
$('.button').click(function() {
let toAdd = $('input[name=listItem]').val();
// Inserts li as first child of ul
$('ul').prepend('<li>' + toAdd + '</li>');
// Clears input box after clicking '+'
$('input[name=listItem]').val('');
});
// Upon hitting enter, triggers button click and prevents page from refreshing and event bubbling and capturing/trickling
$('input[name=listItem]').keypress(function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
$('.button').click();
e.preventDefault();
};
});
$('ul').on('click', 'li', function() {
// Upon list item click, toggleClass() adds class 'strike' for it and fadeOut() completely hides it
$(this).toggleClass('strike').fadeOut('slow');
});
});
Just check on the value you are adding:
$('.button').click(function() {
let toAdd = $('input[name=listItem]').val();
// Inserts li as first child of ul
if( toAdd == ""){
return false; // return on empty value
}
$('ul').prepend('<li>' + toAdd + '</li>');
// Clears input box after clicking '+'
$('input[name=listItem]').val('');
});
Both the below answers are right and hence upvoted but You can try and add validation to remove this situation
$(function() {
$('.button').click(function() {
let toAdd = $('input[name=listItem]').val();
if (toAdd === '') {
alert("Input should not be blank");
$('input[name=listItem]').focus();
return;
}
// Inserts li as first child of ul
$('ul').prepend('<li>' + toAdd + '</li>');
// Clears input box after clicking '+'
$('input[name=listItem]').val('');
});
// Upon hitting enter, triggers button click and prevents page from refreshing and event bubbling and capturing/trickling
$('input[name=listItem]').keypress(function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
$('.button').click();
e.preventDefault();
};
});
$('ul').on('click', 'li', function() {
// Upon list item click, toggleClass() adds class 'strike' for it and fadeOut() completely hides it
$(this).toggleClass('strike').fadeOut('slow');
});

Try adding a check to see if there's nothing in the input box first:
$('.button').click(function() {
let toAdd = $('input[name=listItem]').val();
if (toAdd === '') return;
Using ES6 Syntax
$('.button').on('click'() => {
let toAdd = $('input[name=listItem]').val();
toAdd === '' ? return : null
I'm trying to have a bgcolor change for an element on mouseover, mouseout, and onclick. The problem is Javascript overwrites my onclick with mouseout, so I can't have both. So is there any way to have mouseover reset after mouseout?

document.getElementById('default').onmouseover = function() {
tabHoverOn('default', 'grey')
};
document.getElementById('default').onmouseout = function() {
tabHoverOff('default', 'yellow')
};

tabHoverOn('section2', 'grey')
};
document.getElementById('section2').onmouseout = function() {
tabHoverOff('section2', 'yellow')
};
document.getElementById('section3').onmouseover = function() {
tabHoverOn('section3', 'grey')
};
document.getElementById('section3').onmouseout = function() {
tabHoverOff('section3', 'yellow')
};
}
function tabHoverOn(id, bgcolor) {
document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor = bgcolor;
}
function tabHoverOff(id, bgcolor) {
document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor = bgcolor;
}
var current = document.getElementById('default');

<h1>Exercise: Navigation Tab #5</h1>
<ul>
<li>
Combine the navigation tab exercises #1, #3, and #4 in one file, including <br>
<ul>
<li>temporarily change the background color of a tab when the cursor is hovering on it.</li>
<li>set the foreground and background color of the tab being clicked.</li>
<li>change the background color of the main element based on the selected tab.</li>
</ul>
<p>
To test, click on a tab and then move your mouse around. For example, the third tab is clicked, the tab background color is switched to blue. Then hover the mouse over the third tab, the background color of the tab should be switch to light green and then back to blue after the mouse moves out.

It's generally a good idea to keep CSS out of JavaScript completely if you can help it. A better strategy for solving the hover problem is to use the CSS pseudo selector :hover rather than coding the color changes in JavaScript. If you give all your tabs the same class, you only have to write the CSS once:
.tab {
background-color: yellow;
}
.tab:hover {
background-color: grey;
}
Once you've done that, you can also relegate the click styling to CSS by creating an event handler that adds and removes a special class each time a tab is clicked.
In the CSS file:
.tab.clicked {
background-color: blue;
}
And then in JavaScript, something like:
var tabs = document.getElementsByClassName('tab');
for (i = 0; i < tabs.length; i ++) {
tabs[i].onclick = function (ev) {
for (i = 0; i < tabs.length; i ++) {
tabs[i].classList.remove('clicked');
}
ev.currentTarget.classList.add('clicked');
};
}
I've created a JSFiddle to illustrate.
Try updating a Boolean variable.
var Ele = document.getElementById('default');
var clicked = false;
Ele.onclick = function(){
clicked = true;
// add additional functionality here
}
Ele.onmouseover = function(){
clicked = false;
// add additional functionality here
}
Ele.onmouseout = function(){
if(!clicked){
// add additional functionality here
}
}
I want to add a custom right-click menu to my web application. Can this be done without using any pre-built libraries? If so, how to display a simple custom right-click menu which does not use a 3rd party JavaScript library?
I'm aiming for something like what Google Docs does. It lets users right-click and show the users their own menu.
NOTE:
I want to learn how to make my own versus using something somebody made already since most of the time, those 3rd party libraries are bloated with features whereas I only want features that I need so I want it to be completely hand-made by me.
Answering your question - use contextmenu event, like below:
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
alert("You've tried to open context menu"); //here you draw your own menu
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
} else {
document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function() {
alert("You've tried to open context menu");
window.event.returnValue = false;
});
}
<body>
Lorem ipsum...
</body>
But you should ask yourself, do you really want to overwrite default right-click behavior - it depends on application that you're developing.
JSFIDDLE
Was very useful for me. For the sake of people like me, expecting the drawing of menu, I put here the code I used to make the right-click menu:
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($("#test").addEventListener) {
$("#test").addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
alert("You've tried to open context menu"); //here you draw your own menu
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
} else {
//document.getElementById("test").attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function() {
//$(".test").bind('contextmenu', function() {
$('body').on('contextmenu', 'a.test', function() {
//alert("contextmenu"+event);
document.getElementById("rmenu").className = "show";
document.getElementById("rmenu").style.top = mouseY(event) + 'px';
document.getElementById("rmenu").style.left = mouseX(event) + 'px';
window.event.returnValue = false;
});
}
});
// this is from another SO post...
$(document).bind("click", function(event) {
document.getElementById("rmenu").className = "hide";
});
function mouseX(evt) {
if (evt.pageX) {
return evt.pageX;
} else if (evt.clientX) {
return evt.clientX + (document.documentElement.scrollLeft ?
document.documentElement.scrollLeft :
document.body.scrollLeft);
} else {
return null;
}
}
function mouseY(evt) {
if (evt.pageY) {
return evt.pageY;
} else if (evt.clientY) {
return evt.clientY + (document.documentElement.scrollTop ?
document.documentElement.scrollTop :
document.body.scrollTop);
} else {
return null;
}
}

A combination of some nice CSS and some non-standard html tags with no external libraries can give a nice result (JSFiddle)
HTML
<menu id="ctxMenu">
<menu title="File">
<menu title="Save"></menu>
<menu title="Save As"></menu>
<menu title="Open"></menu>
</menu>
<menu title="Edit">
<menu title="Cut"></menu>
<menu title="Copy"></menu>
<menu title="Paste"></menu>
</menu>
</menu>
Note: the menu tag does not exist, I'm making it up (you can use anything)
CSS
#ctxMenu{
display:none;
z-index:100;
}
menu {
position:absolute;
display:block;
left:0px;
top:0px;
height:20px;
width:20px;
padding:0;
margin:0;
border:1px solid;
background-color:white;
font-weight:normal;
white-space:nowrap;
}
menu:hover{
background-color:#eef;
font-weight:bold;
}
menu:hover > menu{
display:block;
}
menu > menu{
display:none;
position:relative;
top:-20px;
left:100%;
width:55px;
}
menu[title]:before{
content:attr(title);
}
menu:not([title]):before{
content:"\2630";
}
The JavaScript is just for this example, I personally remove it for persistent menus on windows
var notepad = document.getElementById("notepad");
notepad.addEventListener("contextmenu",function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var ctxMenu = document.getElementById("ctxMenu");
ctxMenu.style.display = "block";
ctxMenu.style.left = (event.pageX - 10)+"px";
ctxMenu.style.top = (event.pageY - 10)+"px";
},false);
notepad.addEventListener("click",function(event){
var ctxMenu = document.getElementById("ctxMenu");
ctxMenu.style.display = "";
ctxMenu.style.left = "";
ctxMenu.style.top = "";
},false);
Also note, you can potentially modify menu > menu{left:100%;} to menu > menu{right:100%;} for a menu that expands from right to left. You would need to add a margin or something somewhere though
According to the answers here and on other 'flows, I've made a version that looks like the one of Google Chrome, with css3 transition.
JS Fiddle
Lets start easy, since we have the js above on this page, we can worry about the css and layout. The layout that we will be using is an <a> element with a <img> element or a font awesome icon (<i class="fa fa-flag"></i>) and a <span> to show the keyboard shortcuts. So this is the structure:
<a href="#" onclick="doSomething()">
<img src="path/to/image.gif" />
This is a menu option
<span>Ctrl + K</span>
</a>
We will put these in a div and show that div on the right-click. Let's style them like in Google Chrome, shall we?
#menu a {
display: block;
color: #555;
text-decoration: no[...]
Now we will add the code from the accepted answer, and get the X and Y value of the cursor. To do this, we will use e.clientX and e.clientY. We are using client, so the menu div has to be fixed.
var i = document.getElementById("menu").style;
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
var posX = e.clientX;
var posY = e.client[...]
And that is it! Just add the css transisions to fade in and out, and done!
var i = document.getElementById("menu").style;
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
var posX = e.clientX;
var posY = e.clientY;
menu(posX, posY);
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
document.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
i.opacity = "0";
setTimeout(function() {
i.visibility = "hidden";
}, 501);
}, false);
} else {
document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function(e) {
var posX = e.clientX;
var posY = e.clientY;
menu(posX, posY);
e.preventDefault();
});
document.attachEvent('onclick', function(e) {
i.opacity = "0";
setTimeout(function() {
i.visibility = "hidden";
}, 501);
});
}
function menu(x, y) {
i.top = y + "px";
i.left = x + "px";
i.visibility = "visible";
i.opacity = "1";

Simplest jump start function, create a context menu at the cursor position, that destroys itself on mouse leave.
oncontextmenu = (e) => {
e.preventDefault()
let menu = document.createElement("div")
menu.id = "ctxmenu"
menu.style = `top:${e.pageY-10}px;left:${e.pageX-40}px`
menu.onmouseleave = () => ctxmenu.outerHTML = ''
menu.innerHTML = "<p>Option1</p><p>Option2</p><p>Option3</p><p>Option4</p><p onclick='alert(`Thank you!`)'>Upvote</p>"
document.body.appendChild(menu)
}
#ctxmenu {
position: fixed;
background: ghostwhite;
color: black;
cursor: pointer;
border: 1px black solid
}
#ctxmenu > p {
padding: 0 1rem;
margin: 0
}
#ctxmenu > p:hover {
background: black;
color: ghostwhite
}
You could try simply blocking the context menu by adding the following to your body tag:
<body oncontextmenu="return false;">
This will block all access to the context menu (not just from the right mouse button but from the keyboard as well).
P.S. you can add this to any tag you want to disable the context menu on
for example:
<div class="mydiv" oncontextmenu="return false;">
Will disable the context menu in that particular div only
Pure JS and css solution for a truly dynamic right click context menu, albeit based on predefined naming conventions for the elements id, links etc.
jsfiddle
and the code you could copy paste into a single static html page :
var rgtClickContextMenu = document.getElementById('div-context-menu');
/** close the right click context menu on click anywhere else in the page*/
document.onclick = function(e) {
rgtClickContextMenu.style.display = 'none';
}
/**
present the right click context menu ONLY for the elements having the right class
by replacing the 0 or any digit after the "to-" string with the element id , which
triggered the event
*/
document.oncontextmenu = function(e) {
//alert(e.target.id)
var elmnt = e.target
if (elmnt.className.startsWith("cls-context-menu")) {
e.preventDefault();
var eid = elmnt.id.replace(/link-/, "")
rgtClickContextMenu.style.left = e.pageX + 'px'
rgtClickContextMenu.style.top = e.pageY + 'px'
rgtClickContextMenu.style.display = 'block'
var toRepl = "to=" + eid.toString()
rgtClickContextMenu.innerHTML = rgtClickContextMenu.innerHTML.replace(/to=\d+/g, toRepl)
//alert(rgtClickContextMenu.innerHTML.toString())
}

Here is a very good tutorial on how to build a custom context menu with a full working code example (without JQuery and other libraries).
You can also find their demo code on GitHub.
They give a detailed step-by-step explanation that you can follow along to build your own right-click context menu (including html, css and javascript code) and summarize it at the end by giving the complete example code.
You can follow along easily and adapt it to your own needs. And there is no need for JQuery or other libraries.
This is how their example menu code looks like:
<nav id="context-menu" class="context-menu">
<ul class="context-menu__items">
<li class="context-menu__item">
<i class="fa fa-eye"></i> View Task
</li>
<li class="context-menu__item">
<i class="fa fa-edit"></i> Edit Task
</li>
<li class="context-menu__item">
<i class="fa fa-times"></i> Delete Task
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
A working example (task list) can be found on codepen.
I know this has already been answered, but I spent some time wrestling with the second answer to get the native context menu to disappear and have it show up where the user clicked.
HTML
<body>
<div id="test1">
Google
Link 2
Link 3
Link 4
</div>
<!-- initially hidden right-click menu -->
<div class="hide" id="rmenu">
<ul>
<li class="White">White</li>
<li>Green</li>
<li>Yellow</li>
<li>Orange</li>
<li>Red</li>
<li>Blue</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>

#rmenu ul {
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#rmenu li
{
list-style: none;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
JavaScript
if (document.getElementById('test1').addEventListener) {
document.getElementById('test1').addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
$("#rmenu").toggleClass("hide");
$("#rmenu").css(
{
position: "absolute",
top: e.pageY,
left: e.pageX
}
);
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
}
// this is from another SO post...
$(document).bind("click", function(event) {
document.getElementById("rmenu").className = "hide";
});
CodePen Example
Try This
$(function() {
var doubleClicked = false;
$(document).on("contextmenu", function (e) {
if(doubleClicked == false) {
e.preventDefault(); // To prevent the default context menu.
var windowHeight = $(window).height()/2;
var windowWidth = $(window).width()/2;
if(e.clientY > windowHeight && e.clientX <= windowWidth) {
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", e.clientX);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", $(window).height()-e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("right", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", "auto");
} else if(e.clientY > windowHeight && e.clientX > windowWidth) {
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("right", $(window).width()-e.clientX);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", $(window).height()-e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", "auto");
} else if(e.clientY <= windowHeight && e.clientX <= windowWidth) {
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", e.clientX);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("right", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", "auto");
} else {

$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", "auto");
}
$("#contextMenuContainer").fadeIn(500, FocusContextOut());
doubleClicked = true;
} else {
e.preventDefault();
doubleClicked = false;
$("#contextMenuContainer").fadeOut(500);
}
});
function FocusContextOut() {
$(document).on("click", function () {
doubleClicked = false;
$("#contextMenuContainer").fadeOut(500);
$(document).off("click");
});
}
});

You can do it with this code.
visit here for full tutorial with automatic edge detection http://www.voidtricks.com/custom-right-click-context-menu/
$(document).ready(function () {
$("html").on("contextmenu",function(e){
//prevent default context menu for right click
e.preventDefault();
var menu = $(".menu");
//hide menu if already shown
menu.hide();
//get x and y values of the click event
var pageX = e.pageX;
var pageY = e.pageY;
//position menu div near mouse cliked area
menu.css({top: pageY , left: pageX});
var mwidth = menu.width();
var mheight = menu.height();
var screenWidth = $(window).width();
var screenHeight = $(window).height();
//if window is scrolled
var scrTop = $(window).scrollTop();
//if the menu is close to right edge of the window
if(pageX+mwidth > screenWidth){
menu.css({left:pageX-mwidth});
}
//if the menu is close to bottom edge of the window
if(pageY+mheight > screenHeight+scrTop){
menu.css({top:pageY-mheight});
}
//finally show the menu
menu.show();
});
$("html").on("click", function(){
$(".menu").hide();
});
});
`
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.oncontextmenu = RightMouseDown;
document.onmousedown = mouseDown;
function mouseDown(e) {
if (e.which==3) {//righClick
alert("Right-click menu goes here");
}
}
function RightMouseDown() {
return false;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
A simple way you could do it is use onContextMenu to return a JavaScript function:
<input type="button" value="Example" onContextMenu="return RightClickFunction();">
<script>
function RightClickFunction() {
// Enter your code here;
return false;
}
</script>
And by entering return false; you will cancel out the context menu.
if you still want to display the context menu you can just remove the return false; line.
Tested and works in Opera 12.17, firefox 30, Internet Explorer 9 and chrome 26.0.1410.64
document.oncontextmenu =function( evt ){
alert("OK?");
return false;
}

What I'm doing up here
Create your own custom div menu and set the position: absolute and display:none in case.
Add to the page or element to be clicked the oncontextmenu event.
Cancel the default browser action with return false.
User js to invoke your own actions.
You should remember if you want to use the Firefox only solution, if you want to add it to the whole document you should add contextmenu="mymenu" to the <html> tag not to the body tag.
You should pay attention to this.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.rightclick {
/* YOUR CONTEXTMENU'S CSS */
visibility: hidden;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid grey;
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="rightclick" id="ya">
<p onclick="alert('choc-a-late')">I like chocolate</p><br><p onclick="awe-so-me">I AM AWESOME</p>
</div>
<p>Right click to get sweet results!</p>
</body>
<script>
document.onclick = noClick;
document.oncontextmenu = rightClick;
function rightClick(e) {
e = e || window.event;
e.preventDefault();
document.getElementById("ya").style.visibility = "visible";
console.log("Context Menu v1.3.0 by IamGuest opened.");
}
function noClick() {
document.getElementById("ya").style.visibility = "hidden";
console.log("Context Menu v1.3.0 by IamGuest closed.");
}
</script>
<!-- Coded by IamGuest. Thank you for using this code! -->
</html>
You can tweak and modify this code to make a better looking, more efficient contextmenu. As for modifying an existing contextmenu, I'm not sure how to do that... Check out this fiddle for an organized point of view. Also, try clicking the items in my contextmenu. They should alert you a few awesome messages. If they don't work, try something more... complex.
I use something similar to the following jsfiddle
function onright(el, cb) {
//disable right click
document.body.oncontextmenu = 'return false';
el.addEventListener('contextmenu', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); return false });
el.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
if (~~(e.button) === 2) {
if (e.preventDefault) {
e.preventDefault();
} else {
e.returnValue = false;
}
return false;
}
});
// then bind Your cb
el.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
~~(e.button) === 2 && cb.call(el, e);
});
}
if You target older IE browsers you should anyway complete it with the ' attachEvent; case
