Brian Leathem updated RF-11967:
-------------------------------

             Fix Version/s: 4.Future
                                (was: 4.2.1.CR1)
    Workaround Description: 
Wrap your content in a top level div, as in:

{code}
<h:body style="margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0;">
    <h:panelGroup layout="block" id="mybody" style="position:absolute; width:100%; top:0; bottom: 0;background-color:#EEEEEE;">
        ....
    </h:panelGroup>
</h:body>
{code}

This is currently not possible, as the parent is looked up by id.  The id is then fed into document.getElementById before being fed to jQuery as a selector, to overcome the JSF id separator problem with jQuery.  However, document.getElementById returns null when you try to look up the body by id.

To overcome this, we will have to come up with a better means of looking up and attaching to the parent.

See the workaround of introducing an extra div in your html to hold the contextMenu.

>       			</rich:menuItem>      			
>       	</rich:contextMenu>
>     </h:body>
> </html>
> {code}
> The contextMenu only appears if i right-click the outputText. If i right-click somewhere else inside the page the contextMenu doesn't appear. I think, that this is a bug. I want the contextMenu all over the site.
