This has been suggested many times, but the reason it's not part of the standard is that it's user-hostile. I would recommend that instead of letting the author prevent the user from getting to the user's browser's commands, the browser instead simply hide the browser commands behind a disclosure chevron, as in this example: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/interactive-elements.html#dom-contextmenu -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. Things that are impossible just take longer. `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.' _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
