menus.OnClickData

Type

Values of this type are objects. They contain the following properties:

bookmarkId Optional

string. The ID of the bookmark where the context menu was clicked.

button Optional

integer. Which mouse button was pressed. The values are the same as for MouseEvent.button.

checked Optional

boolean. A flag indicating whether a checkbox or radio item was checked after it was clicked.

editable

boolean. A flag indicating whether the element is editable: for example, if it is a textarea.

frameId Optional

integer. The ID of the frame in which the item was clicked. The frame ID can be used in other APIs that accept frame IDs, such as tabs.sendMessage(). If the item was clicked in the top level document, frameId is zero. If the item was clicked outside the page entirely (for example, in the tools_menu or tab context), then frameId is undefined.

frameUrl Optional

string. The URL of the frame of the element where the context menu was clicked, if it was in a frame.

linkText Optional

string. If the element is a link, the text for the link. If the link contains no text, the URL itself is given here.

linkUrl Optional

string. If the element is a link, the URL it points to.

mediaType Optional

string. One of "image", "video", or "audio" if the context menu was activated on one of these types of elements.

menuItemId

integer or string. The ID of the menu item that was clicked.

modifiers

array of string. An array containing any modifier keys that were pressed when the item was clicked. Possible values are: "Alt", "Command", "Ctrl", "MacCtrl", and "Shift". On a Mac, if the user has the Control key pressed, then both "Ctrl" and "MacCtrl" are included.

pageUrl Optional

string. The URL of the page in which the menu item was clicked. This property is not present if the click occurred in a context where there is no current page, such as on a browser action.

parentMenuItemId Optional

integer or string. The parent ID, if any, for the item clicked.

selectionText Optional

string. If some text was selected in the page, this contains the selected text.

srcUrl Optional

string. If present, the src value for the media in the clicked element.

targetElementId Optional

integer. An identifier of the element, if any, over which the context menu was created. Use menus.getTargetElement() in the content script to locate the element. Note that this is not the id attribute of the page element.

viewType Optional

ViewType. The type of extension view.

wasChecked Optional

boolean. A flag indicating whether a checkbox or radio item was checked before it was clicked.
