If you right-click on the logo on our [Emilia Capital site](https://emilia.capital/), you’ll get a popup that sends you to our logo page. As of today, that’s not a popup, but technically a popover, using the new popover API in HTML. ![](https://joost.blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/[email protected])An example of what we’re going to build in this post. #### Step 1: the HTML The HTML for this is extremely simple, and the magic is in line 1: ``` <div popover="manual" id="logo_popover"> <h3>Looking for our logo?</h3> <p>You're in the right place.<br/>Check out <a href="/logo/">our logos &amp; style page</a>.</p> <button popovertarget="logo_popover" popovertargetaction="hide">Close</button> </div> ``` This is a popover; if you haven’t heard about it yet, popover is the new, browser-native way of doing modals, which *hugely* simplifies building modals. Just how much it simplifies it? Well, if I wanted to open the above popover on click, all I’d need to do is add this somewhere: ``` <button popovertarget="logo_popover" popovertargetaction="show"> Open popover </button> ``` In this case, we’re not going to open it with a button in the HTML, but rather on *right-*clicking the logo, so we need the tiniest bit of JavaScript. #### Step 2: the JavaScript With JavaScript, we’re going to catch the `contextmenu` event of the logo. This means we’re going to grab right clicks on that element. The JavaScript is actually super simple, too. We find the logo with `document.querySelector`. We attach an event listener to the `contextmenu` event of that logo. Then, we prevent the default (which is showing the context menu). Lastly, we find the above popover by its `id` attribute and make it show up. ``` <script> document.querySelector(".is-logo-image").addEventListener('contextmenu', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); document.querySelector("#logo_popover").showPopover(); }, false); </script> ``` If you do not set the popover above to close manually, so instead of `popover="manual`, you just put `popover`, you may find that the `popover` closes immediately. #### Step 3: the CSS There’s a *tiny* bit of styling needed to determine the color of the backdrop for your popover. Simply do this for a black backdrop, using the `::backdrop` pseudo-element: ``` #logo_popover::backdrop { background: rgb(0 0 0 / 75%); } ``` #### Step 4: doing this in WordPress If you want to do this in WordPress, you can add it with a simple bit of code, for instance, like this, to your `wp_footer`. ``` /** * Output a popover for the logo. * * @link https://joost.blog/popover-contextmenu/ */ function joost_logo_popover_footer() { ?> <div popover="manual" id="logo_popover"> <h3>Looking for our logo?</h3> <p>You are in the right place.<br/>Check out <a href="/logo/">our logos &amp; style page</a>.</p> <button popovertarget="logo_popover" popovertargetaction="hide">Close</button> </div> <script> document.querySelector(".is-logo-image").addEventListener('contextmenu', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); document.querySelector("#logo_popover").showPopover(); }, false); </script> <?php } add_action( 'wp_footer', 'joost_logo_popover_footer' ); ```, A Right-Click / Contextmenu Logo Popover, Joost de Valk, 01hyzn30nxzdqd781vk8baqp78.
