[Proto-Scripty] Re: Catching right click
So'k i had my head in places it shoulnt be ... (at least for firefox -
still working on a x-browser solution)
For those of you that wondered what the solution was ...
$('foo').observe('contextmenu', function(event) {
if(Event.isRightClick(event)) {
event.stop();
alert('I Was right clicked');
}
});

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Catching right click
After hacking to pieces Kangax's right click menu i discovered it is not the
right thing for me
however i cannot see why the following code does not work seeing as i pass
event to the anonymous function/..
$('foo').observe('click', function(event) {
// alert(event); // alerted as a mouse Event as expected
event.stop(); // doesnt stop the event
console.log('Stopped Context Menu ' + event.isRightClick()); // only
logs left clicks
event.stop(); // doesnt stop the event
});
according to your Pastie link TJ, this code should work as its just a
simpler version of it (in essence logging to console true or false of a left
or right click.) it seems FF 3.010 (last update was thursday iirc) it
does not work on.
Am i using event.stop() wrong ? because Event.stop(event); does not work
either
Thanks in advance
Alex

Hi,
Right-click is a bit of a pain. :-) Mostly, browsers fire the
'contextmenu' event instead of 'click', but not all browsers do and
not all browsers allow you to replace (e.g., prevent) the default
action of bringing up the context menu. (Opera is a particular
problem; I think recent versions have a config setting allowing the
user to allow you to do it, but the default is off, so...) This page
[1] on quirksmode gives you an idea of support across browsers.
Browsers seem quite reliable about firing 'mousedown' and 'mouseup' on
right-clicks (even Opera, but don't get excited, stopping the default
on mousedown or mouseup doesn't stop the context menu). You can use
Event#isRightClick to see if it's a right-click (note that !
Event#isLeftClick doesn't mean it's a right-click, it could be a
middle-click). Apparently Event#isRightClick and Event#isMiddleClick
are missing from the API docs, but they're in Prototype 1.6.0.3 and
1.6.1 RC2 (at least). Really those methods should be isLeftButton,
isRightButton, and isMiddleButton as they work regardless of whether
it's a "click", but never mind.
Here's a quick-and-dirty test page for mouse events you can play with.
