how to simulate right click in javascript

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 23717 / 11 Years ago, thu, june 13, 2013, 12:00:00

Ok, so i know i can simulate a click by running this code

document.getElementById('recover').click();

the closest this i could find was cntextmenu so i tried

document.getElementById('recover').contextmenu();

however this does nothing

Is it possible to right click and element to bring up the contextual menu so i can click an item on that list ? and if so could someone point me in the correct direction to accomplish such a goal ?

I've done some searching but the only thing i have found is jquery javascript capturing of the event not actually triggering the event

with jQuery

$('#recover').trigger({

    type: 'mousedown',

    which: 3

});

otherwise

var element = document.getElementById('recover');

var e = element.ownerDocument.createEvent('MouseEvents');



e.initMouseEvent('contextmenu', true, true,

     element.ownerDocument.defaultView, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, false,

     false, false, false,2, null);





return !element.dispatchEvent(e);
