All thats Left is A Tiny Black Dot And You Cant Right Click,

Very nice.

Doesn't do anything in Opera. In FF the context menu is still available no matter what and I do see the mouse as a dot.

Only noticed one thing: Hidden w/o context menu causes the mouse to flicker. Good job though

boxxertrumps: there is an option so that you can right click.

jscheuer1: sorry, haven't tested yet in Opera nor in IE.

mburt, jscheuer1: I can't see any dots or flickers in FF(Iceweasel) 2.0.0.1 and the context menu works just fine. Do you have any clue why these problems are occurring(because I have none)?

Thank you all.

Well, I'm using FF 1.5.0.9, and the errors I posted occurred.

FF has a setting that doesn't allow javascript to disable the context menu. I think it is on by default in the FF 1.0.1+ through 1.5.0+ versions. Many NS versions have the same. I don't think Opera allows it to be disabled via javascript, period. You really should test your script in more than one or two browsers before posting it here. A script that hasn't been tested should be presented first in the javascript help section, where you would ask others to test it if you haven't the facilities to do so yourself.

Are you sure about that? I am just asking because earlier I used to use FF v 1.5.0.5 and I could block the context menu with document.oncontextmenu = function(){return false;} without me playing with any of it's preferences.

I guess I'll have to do the same. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well anyways, did anyone find an effective use for the Mouse.(hide|show) function(s)?

so thats what a context menu is...

boxxertrumps: context menu is the thing that pops up when you right click. Just in case you were confused.
