right click menu on hover over of a data item possible?

[Antoine]

I havent got room on an aspx forms data items but want to have an alternate
option to double click on its link (like a right click context menu) so make
the most of functionality with the lack of space, without refering to using
some other kind of custom control. Its for a calendar that is data bound
with items which are what I want the submenu options on (or even just a
different action on right click).

I have divs on the form. This seems to mean that the right click menu will
only work if its specific to that section I have noticed (but also may cause
some visibility issues as its over a large control).

If its specific on hover over of a specifically binded item is what I want
because I want to somehow refer to (stored in codebehind) a value that
defines the second link off the menu, as I already have the first hyperlink
sorted.

I don't have the means to go rewriting an entire control, can someone please
advise if javascript is a good way ahead or if it wont work, or if there is
some other kind of nifty but simple solution I could play?

Many thanks !

Should be no problem via <div> with absolute position and z-index. On the
onMouseOver you can modify the x,y of the <div> and make it visible.
