Capture right-click event?

[Robert Oschler]

Hello,

In my web pages I attach the OnClick event. However this doesn't seem to
intercept right-click events. Is there another event I need to attach or is
it something else?

thx

While not all functions are advisable for a public page,
special rightclicking can be very useful.

I have a personal page for housekeeping a database.
This page is IP specific and password protected.
Leftclicking on a record makes that record accessable for maintenance.
Rightclicking is for deleting the record after confirm().

[The easy thing for a personal page is that you write only for your own
browser, IE6 in my case]

<div class=myrecord
onclick="leftclickfunction(this)"
oncontextmenu="rightclickfunction(this)" ....

You can use the onmousedown event handler and check which mouse button
has been pressed, however most people asking for right click are looking
to intercept the context menu being requested, IE5+ and Netscape 6/7
allow that with the
oncontextmenu
handler

The event you are looking for is onContextMenu.

Ex
onContextMenu="return YourMethod('Your Params')"

Make sure your method returns false or the ie menu will still appear.

That code makes me glad I have a scriptlet on my Links toolbar that does:

javascript:void(function
(){document.body.oncontextmenu=null;window.onmouse down=null;window.onmouseup=null;}());

So when I do find myself surfing the Web with IE (because of the horrible design
of some sites which make it almost impossible to view the site with anything
other then IE), I can disable the author's misguided attempts to "help me out"
by messing with the functionality of my browser.
