Hello Tony

yes, it is working in the demo now. Please don't forget to correct the example code as well.

In my own project it is not working with your solution, but I used a different way to attach the content menu to the grid, I followed the approach which was published in the integration section in spanish, where the context menu is attached in the afterInserRow event.

If I leave out the MSIE specific code it works in my project.

Thanks for your work.

Regards

Hello,

Thanks. Actually the problem is into the code of the demo file. I forgot to update the $.getAbsoluteIndex to $.jgrid.getAbsoluteIndex (since of namespace conflict with other plugins). Now evrething work fine in all IE - you can test this.

Thank you very much for this again.

Best Regards

Tony

Hello Tony

thanks, for replying.

onContextMenu: function(e, menu) {
td = e.target || e.srcElement;
ptr = $(td).parents("tr.jqgrow")[0];
ci = !$(td).is('td') ? $(td).parents("td:first")[0].cellIndex : td.cellIndex;
if($.browser.msie) {
ci = $.getAbsoluteIndex(ptr,ci);
}
if( ci >= 1 ) { .........

Since MSIE 8 did not like $.getAbsoluteIndex(ptr,ci), I first tested for the browser version, and it worked in MSIE 8 but not in 7 and 6. So I tried to just leave out the MSIE specific code and it worked again.

It seems that MS has changed something significant in that area. As I am not a jQuery expert I could by wrong, but I simply tested the code step by step and so I tried to find out where it breaks.

Hope this helps and that it is not a minor version problem, that arrived with the latest MS patches.

Hello,

Thnaks. I confirm this, but I think:

1. Some things in IE8 are changed.

2. It is quite possible that the problem is in qontent menu plugin which is used for this purpose.

In all cases I will investigate this.

Bets Regards

Tony
