Question

How can I trigger some action with right click after disabling the browser context menu ?

I tried this . . .

$(document).ready(function(){     $(document).bind('contextmenu',function(e){         $('.alert').fadeToggle();         return false;     }); });

There is no built-in oncontextmenu event handler in jQuery, but you can do something like this:

$(document).ready(function(){    document.oncontextmenu = function() {return false;};    $(document).mousedown(function(e){      if( e.button == 2 ) {        alert('Right mouse button!');        return false;      }      return true;    });  }); 

Basically I cancel the oncontextmenu event of the DOM element to disable the browser context menu, and then I capture the mousedown event with jQuery, and there you can know in the event argument which button has been pressed.

You can try the above example here.
