Hey Guys, As per Tom's request, I created a pop-up menu that is activated when the user clicks an activity link in the gradebook. It creates a menu roughly where the activity link is that has two items, 'Edit' and 'Sort by' which, if clicked, do what the other links always did. I didn't remove the '(sort)' links yet, but I will now that I have the menu working.
If you check out the revision at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~aelkner/schooltool.gradebook/popup_menu/revision/255, you see that there wasn't much code and css needed to do the job. Luckily, after reading from the JQuery tutorial enough to finally understand how the whole $ stuff worked and how to override events, I got the menu to appear when the user clicks the activity link and disappear if they click outside of the menu. It's still a work in progress. I kind of hacked the part where the menu's top and left attributes are set based on the screenX and screenY attributes of the event, and the menu seems to come up close to where the user clicks, but I'm not sure it's the right way to code it. If anyone has a better idea, please let me know. I attached a screenshot of how the menu appears. It doesn't look as nice as what jquery's contextMenu plugin supplies, but the plugin uses a background image for the <li> elelment where I just use a color. Again, any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Alan
