I am creating a context menu item in Google chrome like so:
chrome.contextMenus.create({
"title":"My Context Menu Item",
"contexts":["editable"],
"onclick": onClick
});
The onClick
callback receives two arguments: an OnClickInfo
object and a tab object. Neither object appears to contain a reference to the DOM element that was right-clicked when invoking the context menu. I have console.logged
both of these objects but don't see any reference to the targeted element anywhere.
The desired outcome:
- user right-clicks an editable element
- user clicks my context menu item
- within the
onClick
callback, have my extension search for a parent 'form' element relative to the targeted right-click element
As it stands right now, it doesn't look like Chrome offers any reference to the targeted element. Has anyone found a way around this limitation?
