User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.110 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Specification: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#attr-menu-type As per spec. the correct type value for menu element in contextmenu is "popup", but firefox supports type="context". Actual results: http://jsbin.com/guzapu/2/edit?html,css,output does not show custom menu on firefox Expected results: Should render custom menu items in context menu. type=context should be renamed to "popup"

FYI, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897102

I doubt we can just remove support for type="context", at least not immediately, but we could support also "popup" and warn about use of "context". Note, the spec used to have type="context", but it was then changed to have type="popup"

I'd like to work on this bug.

Feel free to :) You'll need to update http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/html/HTMLMenuElement.cpp#29 and then perhaps add a helper method HasPopupState() to HTMLMenuElement which checks if the type is either context or popup and use that everywhere and not the current mType == MENU_TYPE_CONTEXT HTMLMenuElement::ParseAttribute could perhaps warn about use of deprecated feature if "context" is used. See http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/base/nsDeprecatedOperationList.h and http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/base/nsIDocument.h#2076 (WarnOnceAbout)

The MDN is in accordance with the specs but not the Firefox possibilities : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/menu

Piyush, any update? are you working on this?

I am re-assigning it back to nobody@mozilla.org so that it doesn't remain blocked. If I get a patch ready, I'll put in a comment and take it back.

I think this works right. I haven't added the deprecation warning yet, but this at least gets the menu items to appear with type="popup" in addition to "context".

Comment on attachment 8666155 [details] [diff] [review] Add support for type="popup" in addition to type="context". You need to also change kMenuDefaultType to point index 3 so that we don't change the default type. And we need some test here. Bug 617528 added some tests which could be modified, at least the stuff in subtst_contextmenu.html. (Looks like we don't handle the missing attribute value correctly per spec, since 'missing value default' depends on the parent element. The spec is weird here, but I don't care enough to fight against it. But no need to change the behavior in this bug.) janv, who implemented this stuff, could review the updated patch.

Fixed the kMenuDefaultType issue, and copied subtst_contextmenu.html to subtst_popupmenu.html and switched the type tested to "popup". Appears to pass locally, here's a try run: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=0b2a4769db2a

Ooh, still haven't done any deprecation warning thing.

The spec has changed back to type=context. See https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/235

(In reply to Simon Pieters from comment #12) > The spec has changed back to type=context. See > https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/235 Hm, so the patch here is not needed anymore, right ?

Comment on attachment 8667656 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v2 Please, request a new review if you want to land the new test.

Unassigning myself since it seems like this isn't needed anymore.

This bug chould be closed, since the spec was updated to use type="context" and Firefox matches the spec.

Is there a reason why this bug is still open, :smaug? The spec has indeed changed to use type="context": https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#menus

no reason. Thanks for reminding. And feel free to close this kind of bugs. Someone will the reopen if one accidentally closes valid bug :)
