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.

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.

[Project_owners] Display right-click context menu programmatically
Hey All,
I'm having trouble trying to display the right-click context menu
programmatically (without having to actually right-click). I continue to get
an exception (see below) that I can't seem to get around and was hoping
someone else might have a better idea/solution. What I've done is setup a
window event listener for "click" that executes my code below. I'm checking
for the left mouse button before attempting to show the right-click context
menu (popup). Any suggestions/help would be great. Thanks.
Code
window.addEventListener("click", doitfunc, false);
function doitfunc(aEvent) {
if (aEvent.button == 0) {
var context = document.getElementById("contentAreaContextMenu");
context.showPopup(document.documentElement, 0, 0, "popup", null, null);
}
}
Exception
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)
[nsIDOMXULDocument_MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH.popupRangeParent]" nsresult:
"0x8000 (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://browser/content/browser.js :: anonymous :: line 3932" data: no]
