            For earch item corresponding JavaScript function is defined to provide necessary action

            </emphasis> attribute equal to "<code>picture</code>" You
            should be careful with such definition, because a client context menu is looked for a
            DOM element with a client Id of a parent component on a server. If a parent component
            doesn't encode an Id on a client, it can't be found by the <emphasis role="bold">
