Is right click a Javascript event?

Question

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

Answer 1

Easiest way to get right click done is using

 $('classx').on('contextmenu', function (event) {

 });

However this is not cross browser solution, browsers behave differently for this event especially firefox and IE. I would recommend below for a cross browser solution

$('classx').on('mousedown', function (event) {
    var keycode = ( event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which );
    if (keycode === 3) {
       //your right click code goes here      
    }
});
