>From what I can tell, if I click inside a webpage, the event starts out in chrome and then propagates down into content. I assume there's some sort of magic happening in the message manager that pushes the event across process boundaries. However, I can't figure out how to create my own event in chrome and have it propagate down into content. Is there any code/documentation I should be looking at to figure out how to do this?
If you're wondering why I want to know about this, read on; otherwise, you can stop here. I'm working on a Firefox add-on for mouse gestures and as part of this I need to delay the opening of the context menu on Linux to occur on mouseup rather than mousedown. I do this by swallowing the original contextmenu event with .preventDefault()/.stopPropagation(). Then on mouseup, I synthesize my own contextmenu event. This works fine when clicking on something in chrome, but no context menu pops up if I click on something in content. - Jim _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
