Trigger right click using pure Javascript

by

Create an event using the CustomEvent constructor, or (when it is not supported), create an event using document.createEvent with as argument the string “HTMLEvents” (because you’re going to create a click event). Then, use the initEvent method to create a click event.

Finally, use the dispatchEvent method to fire the event. If you’re using IE, the fireEvent method has to be used instead.

If you want to trigger the rightclick event, contextmenu, use the code below:

var element = document.getElementById('yourElement');
if (window.CustomEvent) {
    element.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('contextmenu'));
} else if (document.createEvent) {
    var ev = document.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
    ev.initEvent('contextmenu', true, false);
    element.dispatchEvent(ev);
} else { // Internet Explorer
    element.fireEvent('oncontextmenu');
}
