The problem

Firefox 8, released in November 2011, has decided to make contextMenu a reserved word when creating HTML5-style context-sensitive menus.

Unfortunately, TIM Enterprise already used this identifier before Firefox was changed, such that the Directory's pop-up menu no longer appears as expected.

Therefore, we have changed the identifier in the product's content to use dirContextMenu instead of contextMenu. If you are using a version of TIM Enterprise earlier than 3.0.0.77 you will need to make some changes to your web content, located in the {Program Files}\Tri-Line\TIM Enterprise\ssldata\ folder.

<a id="The solution"></a>

The solution

Upgrade to at least version 3.0.0.77 where this change has already been made to the default content.

If you are unable to upgrade to TIM Enterprise 3.0.0.77 (for example, you have no maintenance contract) then it is recommended that you either temporarily use an alternative browser or change the following code within the directory.js files.

The directory.js files are located by default in the following locations:

C:\Program Files\Tri-Line\TIM Enterprise\ssldata\_admin\furniture\js\directory.js
C:\Program Files\Tri-Line\TIM Enterprise\ssldata\_root\furniture\js\directory.js

The following changes need to be made to these files:

Search for:
    function contextMenu(strID, evt, fromFind) {
 
Replace with:
    function dirContextMenu(strID, evt, fromFind) {

Search for:
    strOut.append("' onclick=\"contextMenu('");
 
Replace with:
    strOut.append("' onclick=\"dirContextMenu('");

Search for:
    strOut.append("', event)\" oncontextmenu=\"contextMenu('");
 
Replace with:
    strOut.append("', event)\" oncontextmenu=\"dirContextMenu('");

Search for:
    strOut.append("' onclick=\"highLight = this.id;contextMenu('");
 
Replace with:
    strOut.append("' onclick=\"highLight = this.id;dirContextMenu('");

Search for:
    strOut.append("', event, true);\" oncontextmenu=\"highLight = this.id;contextMenu('");
 
Replace with:
    strOut.append("', event, true);\" oncontextmenu=\"highLight = this.id;dirContextMenu('");
