Question

Not that I’m trying to prevent ‘View Source’ or anything silly like that, but I’m making some custom context menus for certain elements.

EDIT: response to answers: I’ve tried this:

<a id='moo' href=''> </a>  <script type='text/javascript'>     var moo = document.getElementById('moo');      function handler(event) {         event = event || window.event;          if (event.stopPropagation)             event.stopPropagation();          event.cancelBubble = true;         return false;     }      moo.innerHTML = 'right-click here';      moo.onclick = handler;     moo.onmousedown = handler;     moo.onmouseup = handler; </script> 

Answer 1

Capture the onContextMenu event, and return false in the event handler.

You can also capture the click event and check which mouse button fired the event with event.button, in some browsers anyway.
