We are developing a web based application that has to run with the toolbar and
context menu disabled. When we do this our text entry fields cannot be selected
with the mouse.
This is the Javascript used to disable the menu:
document.oncontextmenu = function(){return false}
if(document.layers) {
window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
window.onmousedown = function(e){
if(e.target==document)return false;
}
} else {
document.onmousedown = function(){return false}
}
Is this symptomatic of non-standard Javascript use?
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Put this HTML into a file (sorry, no webspace):
<HTML><HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
document.oncontextmenu = function(){return false}
if(document.layers) {
window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
window.onmousedown = function(e){
if(e.target==document)return false;
}
} else {
document.onmousedown = function(){return false}
}
</SCRIPT> </HEAD>
<BODY><FORM><input type="text" name="text" value="Some Text"></FORM></BODY>
</HTML>
When rendered by Mozilla, you cannot select the text field with the mouse.
Actual Results: When rendered by Mozilla, you cannot select the text field with
the mouse.
Expected Results: I expected Mozilla to disable the context menu only.
I'm not a javascript programmer, I'm using some boilerplate supplied by a third
party.
Any suggestions?

This will disable the context menu in mozilla
> } else {
> document.onmousedown = function(){return false}
> }
That will disable onmousedown, which means it will disable selecting form fields
(such seletion happens onmousedown, no?)
If you feel that you want to disable the mousedown event to disable context
menus in some other browser, please put some more conditioning in there so
Mozilla does not get onmousedown disabled.
