the page seems has a problem displaying message with tags

returning false doesnt resolve my issue…
in my example alert message return same value;

html ex.
a div with id=explorer
and 2 div under it with class=folder;
the first div with id=folder1, and the 2nd div with id=folder2

jquery

$(“#explorer”).bind(
‘contextmenu’,
function(){
alert($(this).attr(‘id’));
return false;
}
);

$(“.folder”).bind(
‘contextmenu’,
function(){
alert($(this).attr(‘id’));
return false;
}
);

Returning false fixed it for me as well.

So what’s wrong with simply returning false from the nested div’s click event? (I like your solution, but then I found that simply returning false resolves my issue.)
