Can someone explain what the contextmenu attribute in HTML5 does?

Question

can someone explain what the the contextmenu attribute does and if it can be used with all the HTML elements and can someone point me to some online demos/examples?

Answer 1

The contextmenu should be used on an input field to specify which menu element is for the field. The menus look sort of like the right click menu or a dropdown box however they are not implemented in any browser yet so you should avoid using them.
