Hi all,

to right-click --> show picture in IE.
Please help me..

What exactly are you trying to do? The 'show picture' option is available in
the contextmenu when an image has failed to load for some reason. Perhaps
set some boolean variable to true in the onerror attribute of the image, and
check that variable when a right-click on the image occurs. Yes, there is an
onerror event handler for the window object, and another one especially for
images.
For a silly example, see

I wish to programatically fire a "right-click-->Show Picture" event.

I need to do this because.. I have a condition that I should not
reload/refresh the document.

You can't. If the user chooses to configure the user agent to not
display the SRC of <img> tags, you have no control over that. If you
could override the user's choice, then you could simple loop through all
the <img> tags on a page and fire the "ShowPicture()" method on each
one, making the user's ability to configure such a setting pointless.

What are you doing that you feel you need to programmatically fire the
Show Picture functionality (I'm guessing you're switching SRC values,
and since the new SRC image is not cached, it's not displaying
immediately?)?
