problem with sidebar and context menu

[Pengyu Hong]

I developed a sidebar and added a menu item to the Firefox context menu
(contextAreaContextMenu). Both the sidebar and the menu are displayed OK.
What I want is to change some elements in the sidebar when that context menu
item is clicked. However, the codes invoked by the context menu item cannot
access any XUL emlement in the sidebar using document.getElementById( id ).
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you very much.

The sidebar's content is a separate document, so you should use
document.getElementById("sidebar").contentDocument.getElementById( ...
)

This is something you could see using the DOMi.
