Well, this is a much more concise expression of essentially the same
code. I used it, and got the same result. The list, which is still
retrieved, is still not parsed to consrtuct a menu. I just changed the
name of the function to MouseEvt(e).

I guess that is the central problem here. All I can say is that
send(null) doesn't generate an error in Firefox, and neither does the
send("") you suggested earlier.

Something we both didn't notice: arrayItems has to be declared globally.
