Catch only a left clicks on links.

Question

We are using event "click" to catch click on links and load content via ajax. But event happens also on right mouse and wheel clicks. How to process only left? confused

// jquery.coyod-engine-0.5.0.js
$(document).click(function(e){

  var t = $(e.target);   
  if(t.hasClass('aj'))
  {    

   e.stopPropagation();
   e.preventDefault();
            showContent(t.attr('href'));          
   return false;    
  }

  return true;

 });

Thank you!

Answer 1

believe it has an answer here:

but there are all sorts of issues with how the browser defines the button id's

Answer 2

Throw in a check at the start of you function which checks if the left button was used

//left == 0, middle == 1, right == 2
if (e.button != 0) return true;
else {
  //whatever
  return false;
}

Answer 3

Just add this at the begining of your callback:

if (e.button != 0) return true;
