Javascript DOM oncontextmenu Event via addEventListener() method

Introduction

In JavaScript, using the addEventListener() method: 

object.addEventListener("contextmenu",
       myScript);

This example uses the addEventListener() method to attach a "contextmenu" event to a div element.

The contextmenu attribute only works in Firefox!
