MenuItem.id

By Opera Software

From Opera 15 onward, Opera 11 & 12’s extension format is no longer supported, and instead, we’ve switched to Chromium’s extension model. Check out our new documentation for developing extensions for Opera 15 and higher and start building your own extensions.

Description:

The id attribute is a settable attribute that can be used to identify the source of a click event if necessary. This attribute defaults to an empty string.

Syntax:

DOMString id

Example:

The following example creates an item in the context menu with a specified ID. When the item is clicked, its ID is shown in the console.

<!--
  The configuration file ('config.xml').
-->
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets">
    ...
    <feature name="opera:contextmenus"/>
    ...
</widget>

//
// The background process (e.g. index.html)
//

if (opera.contexts.menu) {
  var menu = opera.contexts.menu;

  // Create a menu item properties object
  var itemProps = {
    id: 'context001',
    title: 'Context Menu Example'
  }

  // Create a menu item with the specified properties
  var item = menu.createItem(itemProps);
  // Add the menu item to the context menu
  menu.addItem(item);

  item.onclick = function(event) {
    // Show the ID of the menu item
    console.log('Item ID: ' + event.target.id);
  };
}
