0, 0? have you tried to change it (because it must be in the browser area).
Yes, I've tried positioning it where the actual mouse-click takes place with the same results. Thanks. On 7/9/07, Neil < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The internal popup code does all sorts of other stuff before actually calling showPopup. In particular, it sets document.popupNode, document.popupRangeParent and document.popupRangeOffset, of which the latter two are apparently needed for spellchecking. Although you can set document.popupNode through script the other two are readonly so you appear to be out of luck.
Right, I was hoping there was some way to initialize the popupRange properties. Perhaps I can initialize the spell checker interface within the event so that it initializes those properties. I'll look into that but it might require a native call. Thanks for the info. On 7/9/07, Michael Vincent van Rantwijk, MultiZilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just in the case where spell checker is involved (it appears). On 7/9/07, Neil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Yes, I believe the browser content area context menu that includes spell checking requires a "native" popup event.
Yeah, I think you're are right about the spell checker being the culprit. Perhaps there is a way to invoke the spell checker interface from the event. On 7/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:
How about simulating a right-click mousedown/up event? http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Code_snippets:Miscellaneous#Simulating_mouse_and_key_Events
Thanks for the link but unfortunately that code only applies to Firefox 3 / Gecko 1.9. There just might not be a way to do it with the latest Firefox / Gecko release but I'll look into coding for the future Gecko 1.9. Thanks again. If anyone else has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for all the replies so far and info. - TL -- longfocus at gmail dot com http://www.longfocus.com
