I have a jquery script that attaches a click event to every link, running an action when the link is clicked. This has been working great, but I just got some betatester feedback that’s foiling me.
The user was right-clicking on the link and opening it in a new tab. When she did this, jquery didn’t trap the click. BAD USER. I reproduced this with cmd-click as well.
Is there a way to trap these gestures, or this an inherent limitation?
So you want to capture every click? Event the right or middle one? Shouldn’t the mousedown event do just that?
Of course, she could right click a link just to “Copy Link Location”…
