Right mouse click

[ktam]

Is there a way, using javascript, to detect a right mouse click anywhere in your browser?

Thanks in advance.

Yes

lol, I think Vladdy is trying to say that yes it is possible but for what purpose? The answer you got was the correct one for the question asked.

Just to let you know that if you wish to use javascript to disable the right click for protection purposes then it's not fool proof. People can disable JavaScript support in their browser, use a browser which doesn't support JavaScript, or use a browser to link directly to the image that you want to protect. Also the pages and images are normally stored in the user's browser cache (for viewing later whilst offline).

No I wouldn't use client side code for source protection. I'm using it to kick out an alert box that will display a message as part of an interactive information brochure I'm working on.

<script language="JavaScript">
function click()
{
if (event.button==2)
{
alert("Hi how u doin?");
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
// -->
</script>

Okay,

Well it is possible and probably easier to do for IE than for Netscape.

Take a look at this page:

Because your code doesn't work with netscape and displays the alert whenever you click on the page. Using the info on the link I gave you can detect the exact position of the right click, which is what I thought ktam wanted. guess not.

I forget at times to check my code in netscape and pay for it later when i have to figure out whats wrong with it

Yeah, it'd be nice if they both operated the same, make life easier on us. :D
