Answer 1

To detect right click you can use,

jquery code

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
        $('#rClick').on('contextmenu', function(e) {
            alert($(this).attr('id'));
            return false;
        });
    });
</script>

html code

<ul>
<li id="rClick">AAAAAA</li>
<li id="rClick2">BBBBBB</li>
</ul>
