[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Thanks, Craig. That is exactly the solution if figured out over the weekend, 
use the click command to click at the mouseLoc.

Re: Quick and simple web demos?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

This is so rediculously typical of any search features on any number of web 
sites. Copier partner portals are right up there. You can search for anything 
and get a plethora of everything EXCEPT anything you are searching for.

Re: Control or right click to show popup menu

[Craig Newman via use-livecode]

Hi.

On a new card make a field and a pulldown menu button. Place a few lines of 
text in the field and lock it. In the field script:
on mouseUp

set the loc of btn 1 to the mouseloc

click at the mouseLoc

end mouseUp

The menu opens at the line clicked on. 

This has been discussed extensively in the forums, if you want to search there. 
That discussion mainly dealt with loading the contents of the button with the 
field contents, or the selection of a particular menuItem once the menu itself 
was open.
