How to disable context menu on right click with jQuery
1559 days
Today I had to make a simple script that changed the class of an element when you “right clicked” on it but I struggled for hours trying to disable the right click contect menu from showing.
Finally I found a simple solution so I decided to share
I tested it on FF 3.6 & IE7
the magical line is
$(el)[0].oncontextmenu = function() {
return false;
}
For a concrete example here is my code
$(".besoin").bind('mousedown',function(event){
switch (event.which) {
case 3:
if($(this).hasClass("mild")){
$(this).removeClass("mild");
$(this).addClass("hot");
} else if($(this).hasClass("hot")){
$(this).removeClass("hot");
$(this).addClass("superhot");
} else if($(this).hasClass("superhot")){
$(this).removeClass("superhot");
} else {
$(this).addClass("mild");
}
break;
}
$(this)[0].oncontextmenu = function() {
return false;
}
});
Have fun !
