i want to know how to make a chrome extension ,that when the user right click on a text feild in a website , a context menu will apear , that context menu will have some storage variables , for example "name" or "email" , when the user click on "name" the value of the selected  field will be the name set to the value of variable that i stored .

i have managed to make the options and backround and the content script pages with the messaging and stuff , and i need some help with that context menu . thank you in advance

You can use http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/contextMenus.html#method-create. Create as many context menu options as you want with it. Use the "editable" context and once a context menu option is selected, send a message to the content script with the value. The content script can query document.activeElement and replace its value accordingly.

Does that resolve your issue?
