Description:

How to use it:

Load the necessary Vanilla JavaScript Framework in the html document.

Load the vanilla.contextmenu.js and vanilla.contextmenu.css in the document.

<script src="/path/to/vanilla.contextmenu.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/vanilla.contextmenu.css">

Add data-modal attribute to your links and use href attribute to define what should be opened in the modal.

<div id="example-1" class="example">
  <ul>
      <li data-highlight="highlight">Right click me</li>
  </ul>
</div>

vanilla.ctxm( '#example-1 li', {

          title:'Highlight',
          icon:'this.data-highlight',
          callback: function() {
              var target = vanilla.ctxm.getTarget();
              target.toggleClass('highlight')
                  .attr('data-highlight', 'highlight');;
          }
      },
      delete: { // Delete the clicked item
          title:'Delete',
          icon:'delete',
          callback: function() {
              var target = vanilla.ctxm.getTarget();
