Links assigned to Items about jquery-contextmenu

[rodneyrehm]

I couldn't find how to do this in your documentation and please forgive me for asking what is most likely a very simple solution, but I am designer by trade who is learning to use JQuery.

never apologize for asking a question. just don't take it personally when someone replies a link with a touch of RTFM. :)

You have several options of going about this. Here are the two simple ones…

Define a callback for each item:

$(function(){
    $.contextMenu({
        selector: '.context-menu-view',
        className: 'title-View',
        trigger: 'hover',
        items: {
            "HTML": {name: "HTML", callback: function(){ window.open("/some.html"); }},
            "PDF": {name: "PDF", callback: function(){ window.open("/some.pdf"); }},
            "Excel": {name: "Excel", callback: function(){ window.open("/some.xls"); }}
        }
    });
});

or you could use a central callback and provide yourself some custom data:

$(function(){
    $.contextMenu({
        selector: '.context-menu-view',
        className: 'title-View',
        trigger: 'hover',
        callback: function(key, options) {
            window.open(options.items[key].someURL);
        },
        items: {
            "HTML": {name: "HTML", someURL: "foobar.html"},
            "PDF": {name: "PDF", someURL: "foobar.pdf"},
            "Excel": {name: "Excel", someURL: "foobar.xls"}
        }
    });
});

Thank you. Yes, I did my due diligence and scoured the documentation for how to implement this, but did not see anything. This worked great, however, how would I get the page to open in the parent window instead of a new one? Sorry I didn't make that clear in my first post.

"parent window" being the window containing a frameset? top.location.href = 'new-url.html';
"parent window" being the window that opened a popup within your contextMenu is executed? opener.location.href = 'new-url.html';
