The jQuery Context Menu Plugin

Posted · Category: Menu, MIT License

The jQuery ContextMenu Plugin was designed for web applications in need of menus on a possibly large amount of objects. Unlike the other similar plugins, contextMenu doesn’t need to bind itself to triggering objects. This allows injecting and removing triggers without having to re-initialize or update contextMenu.

The contextMenu can provide a simple list of clickable commands, or offer an in-menu form. This makes very simple attribute modification possible. The contextMenu knows the two callbacks show and hide which can be used to update the state of commands within the menu. This allows en/disabling commands, changing icons or updating the values of contained <input> elements.
