Question

i need a non Jquery middleclick solution for all new browser.
My idea was to use the onmiddleclick … but this code does not work.

Hope someone can help.

HTML / JS Code

<div id="test" onmiddleclick="alert('middle');" ondblclick="alert('dbl');" > 
 CLICK HERE 
</div>

Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function whichButton(e) {
        if (!e) var e = window.event;
        switch (e.which) {
            case 1: alert("Left"); break;
            case 2: alert("Middle"); break;
            case 3: alert("Right"); break;
        }
    }
</script>

HTML:

<div id="test" onmouseup="whichButton()">Click Me</div>

Have a read of this QuirksMode page for more information on event properties.

If possible, it’s definitely worth using jQuery for things like this. Cross-browser compatibility for mouse-clicks is poor, and you’ll need something more like this demo to provide support in all browers.
