Hi there,
I am trying to detect whether my IE6 users have pressed both right and
left mouse buttons simultaneously in my Javascript code, by using:
if(event.button==3) {alert("Both right and left mouse buttons
pressed");}
I am calling the above code on mousedown or mouseup events.
But it does not seem to work. :,(
The if condition is not satisfied even on pressing the left and right
buttons simultaneously.
Is there something that I am missing?
Best,
Shocky

Yes.
Try it out:
<button onmousedown='alert(event.button)'>
Test down</button>
<br><br>
<button onmouseup='alert(event.button);return false;'>
Test up</button>
You see, you won't be able to press them simulaniously.

My tests indicate that event.button == 3 requires the event type to be
`mousemove'. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533544.aspx

Yes and no. While it's nearly impossible to press the two buttons exactly
simultaneously, it's certainly possible to press one, then the other, without
releasing the first. Seems to me that the OP needs to look for two consecutive
mousedown events, on opposite buttons, without an intervening mouseup event.

The mouseup event doesn't enter into it. The second mousedown event
will indicate that both buttons are pressed (event.button == 3.)

Okay.
<div onmousedown="window.status = event.button"></div>
To test it, press the primary button and hold. Note that the status
reads "1." Now press the context button without releasing the
primary. Status changes to "3" as expected.

The response seems to be bitwize:
the rightmost bit being the left button,
the second bit being the right button.
Is the third button the third bit [with value 4],
if not derouted by a Os or intellimouse routine?

The mouseup event doesn't enter into it. The second mousedown event
will indicate that both buttons are pressed (event.button == 3.)
I guess partly this depends on how you look at things. Certainly if there *is*
a mouseup event intervening, the second mousedown event will not return 3.

That doesn't fire (because I cant get more than 2)
left click = 0 (Fx) 1 (Safari)
middle button (wheel) = 1 (Fx) 1 (Safari)
right click = 2 (Fx) popup menu or nothing (Safari)
With Firefox, 2 buttons pressed = 1 or 2
(depends if it is left + middle
left or middle + right
left + middle + right)

This discussion is about IE. Here is a cross-platform version:
function mouseButtons(e) {
var b = {};
if (typeof(e.which) != 'undefined') {
b.left = (e.which == 1);
b.middle = (e.which == 2);
b.right = (e.which == 3);
}
else {
b.left = (e.button & 1);
b.middle = (e.button & 4);
b.right = (e.button & 2);
}
return b;
}
Pass it a normalized event (e || window.event) of course. You will
notice that only IE combines buttons.

That's why you use the which property when it exists. There is no
telling what non-IE browsers will put in the button property.

I believe the context action on single button mice is physically
invoked by holding down the primary button. So with these there would
be no way to combine buttons.

The last Apple's mouse : yes (and a ball to wheel up/down right/left)
any optical mouse bought anywhere has more than one button and works
without specific driver.
