I've a few websites like google-docs and map-quest that have custom drop down menus when you right-click. Somehow they override the browser's behavior of drop-down menu, and I'm now sure exactly how they do it. I found a jQuery plugin that does this, but I'm still curious about a few things:
- How does this work? Is the browser's drop-down menu actually being overridden, or is the effect just simulated? If so, how?
- What does the plugin abstract away? What's going on behind the scenes?
- Is this the only way of achieving this effect?
