I'm using the code below to simulate a mouse click on a DOM element. It works, but how can i adjust this code to simulate a RIGHT button click instead ?

var selNode = document.getElementById('myelement');
var nodeClientRect = selNode.getBoundingClientRect();selNode.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent("mousedown", {bubbles: true,cancelable: true,screenX: nodeClientRect.x,screenY: nodeClientRect.y}));

Did you try to fire 'contextmenu' event? – Hassen Ch. Jun 17 '21 at 13:58

`contextmenu` event or maybe an if inside mousedown `if (ev.which == 3)` – Calvin Nunes Jun 17 '21 at 13:59
