Ajax Add comments

To round off the weekend, here’s a very cool Prototype-based solution for creating context menus:

Description

Proto.Menu is a simple and lightweight prototype-based solution for context menu functionality on your page
Features:

  • Lightweight: ~2 KB (~1.5 KB minified)
  • Unobtrusive: Plays nice with JS turned off, uses its own namespace
  • Cross-browser: Full A-Graded browsers support (Opera is supported through Ctrl + Left Click)
  • Fully customizable: Menu styling can (and is intended to) be easily defined in external stylesheet
  • Fast: Menu container is rendered on page load, and only changes position on click

Specification

  • Requires: prototype.js 1.6.0_rc0
  • Tested browsers: Firefox 1.5+, Internet Explorer 6+, Safari 3+, Opera 9+, Netscape Navigator 9+
  • Last modified on: 8/22/07
  • Latest version: 0.5
  • Author: kangax

It’s lightweight, cross-browser and looks very easy to implement. If kangax can throw in some more default themes, that would be very sweet! Overall, me likey! :)
