I am making an English to hindi transliteration webpage that works offline. I have used HTML & javascript so the file works on all browsers across all OS.

I have added support for remembering words used via a cookie provided the user works on same computer, same browser every time.

As the user types word , buttons are dynamically created which suggest on basis of database stored in cookie. Is there a way I can associate action on right clicking a dynamically created button ?

Also , I want that - the dynamically created button should vanish on right clicking it ? I want this because , if user wants to remove an erroneous entry from his vocab database (which is in a cookie referred above).

Currently I am able to remove all dynamic buttons in one go using 

id-of-span-which-holds-dynamic-buttons.innerHTML = '';

A lengthier way would be to remove all buttons , then pop out word from database & recreate suggestion based on current database. Is there a simpler way ?

Where can I post my web page code (>51KB) if somebody wants to see what I have been talking about?

    In order to make use of paragraphs on stackoverflow leave one blank line. In order to move the cursor to the next line use this keyboard button: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Enter.png – oxygen Nov 14 '12 at 12:52

This is a really bad idea. It incurs a big overhead in every HTTP request - and eventually it will get to apoint where the requests get too large foer the server to cope with - then bad things can start happenning. HTML5 has proper support for local storage. Use it.

Have a look around the web - do you see anything similar implemented anywhere? I never have. Trying to take over the right mouse button is a bad idea.

  • as told before , the web page does not need any network to function so cookie is stored on local computer & processed there itself , never sent to any external device. – user1371666 Nov 15 '12 at 01:23
  • Okay , it seems that one cannot associate any right click action to a button . Can you tell me a method to remove dynamically created single child element ? – user1371666 Nov 15 '12 at 01:25
  • infanticide , suicide sounds humour+wise . Also , 'root has no parent' is a great observation. I cannot understand element = document.getElementById("element-id"); element.parentNode.removeChild(element); Can you tell me a way in which I can dynamically create a button which deleted itself on being pressed ? – user1371666 Nov 15 '12 at 13:21
  • hi guys , can you suggest me an html element which i can create dynamically . It should have atleast 2 parts - one will so append text to user-text-box while clicking on other should delete the element itself from webpage ? Please suggest. – user1371666 Nov 25 '12 at 12:12
