Video demonstration menuitem element

HTML5 menuitem, adding a command to a context menu

min video details
00:00 video tutorial: menu and menuitem elements
00:09 menu element allows you to create a toolbar menu or a popup menu containing commands
00:15 this is an example of context menu containing 1 command
00:18 this is the command called "add border"
00:23 in browser: the command called "add border" when clicked adds a green border to the blue rectangle in page
00:27 the blue rectangle is the div having the id="zz"
00:31 this menu is a context menu (a popup menu) currently the value "popup" of the type attribute is not supported in browser while the deprecated value "context" still is, that is why our demo is based on "context" value instead of "popup"
00:52 the context menu in our case is activated through the global attribute "contexmenu" whose value (idmenu) is the value of the id attribute from menu element
01:02 contexmenu attribute applied on html root element is inherited by all elements in page → wherever we click on page, the command displays inside the menu
01:12 this area may be restricted to 1 element only: moving the contexmenu attribute from html element to div element → the command displays only when we right click above the div element (= the blue rectangle in page)
01:27 the menuitem element allows us to add a command inside our context menu where:
01:32 the label attribute gives the label of the command
01:41 the icon attribute holds the icon of the command
01:48 and the onclick mouse event holds a javascript function (= the command itself)
