<script>
// Script for example event goes here
addEvent(document.getElementById('mydiv'), 'contextmenu', function(event) {
display_short('right-clicked (contextmenu)');
});
function display_short(str)
{
clearTimeout();
document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML = str;
if (str != '')
alert("hello");
setTimeout("display_short('abcd')", 1000);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Behaves diffrently in IE and FF when you right click on the div area. In ff display_short will be called for evry 1 sec eventhough you dont release right click but in IE it will not call display_short if you dont release right click.
But i expect in IE it should call display_short for every 1 sec if you dont release also. Is there any solution for this?
