Is right click a Javascript event?

Question

Is right click a Javascript event? If so, how do I use it?

Answer 1

Ya, though w3c says the right click can be detected by the click event, onClick is not triggered through right click in usual browsers.

In fact, right click only trigger onMouseDown onMouseUp and onContextMenu.

Thus, you can regard "onContextMenu" as the right click event. It's an HTML5.0 standard.
