Hi all,

I am having a huge frustration with ‘right Clicking’ with P5 in the online editor. I have been looking about for a while and cannot find the answer.

Every time i ‘right click’ the options come up for chome, however i want to remove this so i can right click on boxes to get options up for what I am making? does anyone have the solution for this if there is one!

Thanks in advance,

Peachman

I think it should be added to the reference as the potential defaults issue was hinted at but the given examples didnt work in my case, though fundamentally the same code. i am using web editor. I can post link to code later if you think ive found a glitch. #noobCoder smiley thanks
