I have this script:

window.onload = function(){
    document.getElementById('workspace').oncontextmenu = function(){
    return false;
    }
}

function click(e) {
    if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' && e.which == 3) {
       window.location.reload();
       return false;
else {
    if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' && event.button==2)
       window.location.reload();
       return false;
}
return true;
}
document.onmousedown=click;

The workspace is id of my <body> element. Basically this script does is, it reloads the current page when right clicked on the page. I’m happy with it, this is all I want.

But this script is having a bug. The problem is the left click is disabled. I have some text on webpage but the you can select the text with this script enabled.

I have no much experience with JavaScript but I tried removing the last line of the script. When I did so the left click started working and I can select the text, but soon I noted that reload does not works.

    It could be because of click function return false in the third line.
    you need } before else { and need to wrap with { } for last if block.

    something like this should be ok.

    function click(e) {
  if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' && e.which == 3) {
     window.location.reload()
     return false;
  } else {
     if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' && event.button==2) {
       window.location.reload();
       return false;
     }
  }
  return true;
}
