cross-browser right click plugin with jquery?

Question

i've got a context menu plugin that will show a context menu when right clicking an element. but that doesnt work on ajax embedded elements. so i have to use ajax live that trigger the context menu function when it senses a right click.

is there a plugin for jquery detecting right clicks?

Try this block of code:

$("body").mousedown(function(e) {
  var code = ( e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which );

  if( code === 3 ) {
    // do your right-click code here
  }
});

Note that JavaScript allows: `var code = (e.keyCode || e.which);` – Tomas Jul 05 '11 at 09:17

A plugin isn't necessary. To detect right clicks, check out this previous question: jquery right click event?
