How to select a word from paragraph in a single right click?

Question

Hi Techies@StackOverFlow, i am researching on a logic, by which i can select a text in a single right mouse click. What I want to say is that , I want to implement, the double click text selection, but in a other way that is in single click and right click.

For example if you double click on the text displaying anywhere on this web, the text will get selected. Similar thing i want to implement. I prefer Javascript as i am implementing it on web.

Please help me

Answer 1

Do one thing write event handler for right click and inside it call your double click function which should select the text.

I haven't tested it but this might work.

Answer 2

It should be fairly simple. Just detect whether or not it is a right click via the onclick method and the event code (2 in this case) in Javascript - if it is, then do the necessary code to select the text (it varies from the IE family to the rest of the real browsers). Should be all you need to do.
