Intercepting right-clicks in FireFox.

[Disiance]

I have script that triggers off when the user right clicks in IE, but doesn't work in FireFox.

var whoami=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); //use lower case name
var is_ie = (whoami.indexOf("msie") != -1); //does name contain 'msie'?

function setRClick(e) {
	var message = "Right click disabled";
	if(!document.rightClickDisabled) { // initialize
		if(document.layers) {
			document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
			document.onmousedown = setRClick;
		}
		else {
			document.oncontextmenu = setRClick;
		}
		return document.rightClickDisabled = true;
	}
	if (is_ie) {		//Internet Explorer




		//This code to execute when right button is clicked
		//Have taken out the "if (is_ie)" condition, that doesn't help, and makes it not work in IE




	}
	return false;
}

I don't think you an in Firefox in any case, there is an option to disallow scripts to control the right click, disable the scrollbar and things like that.

Perhaps there is an option to disallow script control of right clicks in FireFox..I use it but ain't that familiar with it...

Anywho, if they don't that option selected this script should do the trick - IE, NS, and works in my FireFox

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
var message="";
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if 
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers) 
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
// --> 
</script>
