How to add a custom right-click menu to a webpage?

Question

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

Answer 1

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:

    

      

         View Task
      
      

         Edit Task
      
      

         Delete Task
      
    
  

A working example (task list) can be found on codepen.
