How do I simulate a rightclick on the html element

[Napoleon]

Hey all,

I am looking for a way to trigger a Right Click on any HTML element
using javascript. I got a way of doing the normal click (left click)
using the following function.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function simulateClick() {
var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
evt.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);
var cb = document.getElementById("checkbox");
var canceled = !cb.dispatchEvent(evt);
if(canceled) {
// A handler called preventDefault
alert("canceled");
} else {
// None of the handlers called preventDefault
alert("not canceled");
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When changing the last but one param of evt.initMouseEvent() from 0 to
2 can i trigger a right click .

Syntax says the last but one is Button 0 - left , 1 - middle , 2 -
right.

Can anybody help me out.

Your response is greatly appriciated.

Thanks
Neps

You can dispatch left and right click events on HTML elements.
You cannot emulate physical user interaction with interface using
artificial events (display right-click context menu, add new options
in multiple select form element etc.) It is a necessary security
measure preventing so called "interface stealing".

Thanks for the response. I am more interested in implementation. Is
there a sample implementation for a better understanding.

Thanks again for subsequent response.
