How to Create a Custom Right-Click Menu

If you want to create this Custom Right Click Context Menu then I have given all the code below. The explanation is not required for HTML and CSS

However, in the case of JavaScript, I have given the explanation of each line. But you need to have a basic idea about HTML, CSS, and javascript.

Step 1: Html code of context menu

The required information for this Right Click Context Menu has been added using your own HTML code. Copy these codes and add them to your HTML file.

<div id=”context-menu”>
  <div class=”item”>View</div>
  <div class=”item”>Refresh</div>
  <div class=”item”>Copy</div>
  <div class=”item”>Customize</div>
  <div class=”item”>Save As</div>
</div>

Step 2: Design the Right Click Menu

Now is the time to design it using a small amount of CSS code. First set a background color for the webpage. Then I designed the box, the background of the box is white color and with it, the box shadow has been used.

* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
font-family: “Poppins”, sans-serif;
}
body {
background-color: #dfe8f1;
}
#context-menu {
background-color: #ffffff;
box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(37, 40, 42, 0.22);
color: #1f194c;
width: 10em;
padding: 0.8em 0.6em;
font-size: 1.3rem;
position: fixed;
visibility: hidden;
}
.item {

cursor: pointer;
}
