PODisabled form element and oncontextmenu issue
text
Body
copied!<p>we have an issue where a <strong>disabled form element</strong> (input, textarea, ...) does not react to a <strong>right-click action</strong> (oncontextmenu attribute). Everything works fine when the form element is enabled. Please consider the following pseudo-code:</p> <pre><code><div id="test" oncontextmenu="someFunction()"> <input id="textbox" type="text" disabled="disabled"> SOME_PADDING <input id="calendar" type="image" disabled="disabled"> </div> </code></pre> <p>The real catch is it <strong>does not work</strong> in Chrome and Firefox, but it <strong>does work</strong> in IE8 and Opera. </p> <p>When we right-click on the textbox or calendar elements in Chrome or Firefox, nothing happens. If we click <strong>in between the elements (SOME_PADDING)</strong> then the right-click menu does appear. </p> <p>Hence it seems as if a <strong>right-click action on a disabled form does not work in Chrome and Firefox</strong>. Has anyone experienced a similar behaviour before?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!<br> Stijn</p> <p>EDIT: As mentioned by Pekka, a disabled form element not reacting to a right-click does make sense. The real issue seems to be the oncontextmenu attribute of the div around it not reacting properly when clicking on a disabled form element in Firefox / Chrome. </p> <p>EDIT2: Online example can be found here: <a href="http://jsbin.com/isite4/6" rel="nofollow">http://jsbin.com/isite4/6</a> - This works in all but IE8. Any proposed work-arounds to force IE to behave normally?</p>
