Re: [Dynapi-Dev] browser history and RPC

[Peter R. <ant...@gm...>]

Hi,

shouldn't that also be provided as a standard DynAPI-function?
Like dynapi.preventHistory()? While at it a function
dynapi.preventContextMenu() could be added too, which catches
the oncontextmenu-events and the right-click (for older browsers)?
That is *really* useful when working with with a custom ui made
of dynlayers. Another idea could be to provide something like:

DynLayer lyr = new DynLayer();
lyr.enableContextMenuClick();
lyr.addEventListener ( {
	oncontextmenu : ...
});

I think that this would be very useful to a lot of users. If wanted
I can provide the functionality since I already have it (partly) in
my own libraries.

Regards,
Peter
