Odd Behavior with Input in dhtmlxMenu

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

I have two input fields in a dhtmlxMenu. They are created like this…

menu.addNewSibling("signout", "fastMenu", '<input type="text" id="fastMenuInput" size="6" value="Menu" style="color:darkgray">');
menu.addNewSibling("fastMenu", "fastFind", '<input type="text" id="fastFindInput" size="6" value="Find" style="color:darkgray">');

The strange behavior is that in IE after you type some text into the fields you cannot select the text. You can only backspace one character at a time. In Chrome you can select the text then remove it all at once with a single backspace. But in both Chrome and IE you cannot right-click in the field and get a normal browser context menu to appear.

I need to be able to select the text in IE like I can in Chrome and would like to have context menu capability also. Is this possible. Here are two screen shots of what I’m talking about…

Hi

after menu init add once:

menu.base.onselectstart=null;

then for certain item:

menu.idPull[menu.idPrefix+"fastMenu"].onselectstart = null;

Thanks but how do I get the mouse right-click context menu to appear? I’ve tried all of these but can’t get it to work…

[code]//Try getting the DHTMLX menu item…
mainMenu.idPull[mainMenu.idPrefix + “fastFind”].oncontextmenu = null;

//Try getting the actual input field that is in the DHTMLX menu…
document.getElementById(“fastMenuInput”).oncontextmenu = function(){};
document.getElementById(“fastMenuInput”).oncontextmenu = null;

//Try everything…
document.oncontextmenu = function(){}[/code]
None worked. Thanks!

Try to use a code like next

var inps = menu.base.querySelectorAll("input"); for (var i=0; i<inps.length; i++) inps[i].onselectstart=function(e){ (e||event).cancelBubble =true; }

That worked! However it took me a second to notice your typo, it should be oncontextmenu, not onselectstart. Thanks!
