jQuery making custom right-click context menu example
contextmenu() is a basically javascript event handler that is used to bind an event handler to the "contextmenu".
There are many plugins available to use context menu to define custom right click functionality but in this post i will tell you how you can create your own right click functionality using context menu.
Here we will create window like context menu where you can perform many events like edit, update, delele, share, view etc.
Context menu will work on right click mouse operation on selected element.
Positioning of context menu is very important and i will write script to resolve issue of Positioning.
Everyone want it to appear right next to where they clicked.
Let's start to create custom menu on right click :

- <head>
- <meta charset="utf-8">
- <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
