Right click link capture

I want to add an item to my IE context menu that when right clicking a link on a page like http://script.download.com/example.js it gives me the option to view source instead of downloading it then having to open it with notepad or what not.

So far I have my registry entry setup with the menu item to popup only when links are right-clicked like so, (Contexts is set to 10 when using highlight method)


The problem I have is how to pass the link to my script without having to highlight the link

Preferably Javascript.

Works fine passing highlighted links to my script that appends it to the VIEW-SOURCE: protocall but I want to be able to just right-click and go

when you right click on a link focus gets put on it.... Is there anyway of using js to detect which object has focus?

My big book of ultimate Javascript knowledge is at home and I'm not, but thats the directionI would start going in.

It won't be able to view the source until it has downloaded it. So you would still have to download it somehow beforehand.

I just right click, save target as, put it in temp, then fire it up in a text editor.

I got the impression that joebert had already got it working if he highlighted the link - he's just too lazy to highlight

Damnit! I hate when Axe is right
I've been testing this with links to various pages not js files

I just realized (after Axes smack upside my head )
that view-source: won't work with JS files.

Oh well back to doing it the old way i guess

maybe i can still scrap this to be a read a page before you visit it gimick
