Not knowing anything about the internal code, I still can give an educated guess. If you have gone on the SeaMonkey menu bar to [Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Scripts & Plugins] and unchecked the checkbox for "Allow scripts to ... Disable or replace context menus", that would likely mean that right-click cannot trigger JavaScript. There is no place on a rendered Web page where right-click does not normally launch a context menu. Triggering JavaScript would override that. Thus, I believe this is an "either-or" situation. Either a right-click launches a context menu or else it triggers JavaScript, depending on the preference set by the checkbox. None of this applies to how hovering or left-click triggers JavaScript or how JavaScript affects the initial rendering of a Web page, even when the checkbox is unchecked. -- David E.
