Hi, im new here
Please know this is NOT an advertisement for the message board I am refering to
I made some javascripts for another message board so you can right click a link to a thread on the board and go straight to the reply page, print it, etc. But its IE only and a netscape user asked if I could make it work in netscape. I think the javascripts would work in netscape if I could add them to the right-click menus.
If you want to look at my javascripts there is a more info at this thread
http://forums.techguy.org/t130582/s.html
The important part of the script is this

Code: Select all

var x = (external.menuArguments.event.srcElement.href);


Which gets the URL that the link is pointing to. Anyone know if that will work in Netscape and how to add it to the right-click menus?
Thanks in advance![/code]

Hello Brendandonhu,

To be honest, I don't usually work with IE-only codes. In fact there are still quite a lot of NS-only features as being used in SillyDog701.

If I have time, I will check the detail to see if I can help.

The best approach... (which will cost you $105 AUD, cheaper in USD)
Buy Danny Goodman's JavaScript Bible either the Gold Edition (hard cover, more chapters) or 4th Edition (paper back).

Thanks for your reply.
I will look at that book, I am interested in it anyway as a beginning JS writer.

Are you saying that code is IE only though?

Not sure, But since you mentioned that works for IE (only), I assumed it.
I am at work now. The JS Bible is at home.

Thanks, the reason it currently only works in IE is because I only knew how to add it to the right click menu in IE, which is done thru the registry.

TSG is tech support guy, which is the msg board I made it for.
And mosaic1 is the user that originally did it.
