I\'m trying to position a custom context menu with jQuery.
The first time it appears at the right position (mouse coordinates), but then the current position is being summed
Try position: fixed; with position of context menu changes based on following condition -
var windowHeight = $(window).height()/2;
var windowWidth = $(window).width()/2;
if(e.clientY > windowHeight && e.clientX <= windowWidth) {
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", e.clientX);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", $(window).height()-e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("right", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", "auto");
} else if(e.clientY > windowHeight && e.clientX > windowWidth) {
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("right", $(window).width()-e.clientX);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", $(window).height()-e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", "auto");
} else if(e.clientY <= windowHeight && e.clientX <= windowWidth) {
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", e.clientX);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("right", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", "auto");
} else {
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("right", $(window).width()-e.clientX);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("top", e.clientY);
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("left", "auto");
$("#contextMenuContainer").css("bottom", "auto");
}
