capturing popup-menu item generated by right click!

[amit]

Hello Group,

How can I capture which option of a popup menu is chosen when user
does a right click on a link?

You have see so many links which lead to a download or ... like: <A>
Download here </A> Now if user chooses "Save Target As ..." he can
download the file. I need to find out which option off the list is
chosen?

Thanks,
Amit.

Ask the user, otherwise you have no way of knowing.

This type of things are possible in application programming, that's why
I thought it would be possible in web development too. However, if
still there is somebody know think there is a possibililty please let
me know it.

thanks again.

Whether it is fortunate or not is a matter of opinion.

If anybody tells you they can, then call them a liar.
Using a custom context menu, sure. Write your own menu to mimic the
browsers and then you can know, otherwise, you can't.
