Support for contextmenu event
Please add support for contextmenu event handlers, or mousedown/mouseup/click events which are captured, to be able to prevent default browser right-click popup menu.
It would be useful to have an ability to show custom menu on different parts of chart (slice/series/point/legend etc.) with according info respectively.

I’ve tried to modify Joe’s patch into a plugin so that it can run without modifying Highcharts itself. The result can be seen at http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/c42Ms/.
I didn’t have time right now to check across browsers, but I’m open for suggestions for improvements.

Thanks for reporting, I updated the plugin for HC 3.0

Or you can set e.returnValue to false.

In IE 8 a return false; at the end of the oncontextmenu function would be useful to prevent that the browsers contextmenu is shown.
A simple preventDefault is not enough.Here is the fork with the patch: http://jsfiddle.net/g69Uq/

Hi there,
The same question than asd: was this request developed? If it wasn't how can we use it while keeping compatibility with the current/last release? ( I mean, how to use it without loosing future releases?
Thanks; -

Is this patch official? Is there any way to distribute just what it changed instead of the full library code?

FYI, I only tested it on Safari 5, IE8 and Firefox 5. They all work fine.

That code seems to be jQuery specific...

Very nice :).Would someone from Highcharts simply include this patch?
