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?

Answer 1

A plugin isn't necessary. To detect right clicks, check out this previous question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1646851/jquery-right-click-event

Answer 2

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
  }
});
