The Context Menu is a client side menu that looks like the same context menus users see when they right click in the browser. When the user clicks on a command, it runs a client side script that you supply.

Its features include:

• Runs JavaScript that you supply, go to a URL that you specify, or postback. It can fire validation and offer a confirmation message prior to taking any of those actions.
• Styled like a traditional context menu but you can control the styles
• Can show and invoke a command's keyboard shortcut
• Can show a separator line
• Can show a hint row which is not selectable and uses a different style
• Rights on left, right or both mouse buttons
• Can be hooked up to any control or the page itself

Demo
