MenuEvent.srcURL

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 srcURL attribute is the value of the src attribute of the element on which this event was activated, such as an <image> or <video> element. If the element does not have a src attribute then this attribute will be null.

Syntax:

readonly DOMString srcURL

Example:

In this example, a menu item is added to the context menu for images only. When the menu item is clicked, the image will be opened in a new tab.

<!--
  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. '/background.js').
//

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

  // Create a menu item properties object
  var itemProps = {
    contexts: ['image'],
    title: 'Open image in new tab',
    onclick: function(event) {
      // Create a tab properties object
      var tabProps = {
        url: event.srcURL
      };

      // Create a tab with the specified properties
      var tab = opera.extension.tabs.create(tabProps);
    }
  }

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