I'm in the process of porting an app to JavaScript/CSS and it uses right-click. For some reason Firefox 3.6 for Windows isn't issuing a right-click event, but Chrome and IE do. Here's some test code. If you right-click #test then you get nothing in Firefox but you get an alert under Chrome and IE.
<html>
<head>
<title>Hi</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#test").get(0).oncontextmenu = function() { return false; };
$("#test").mousedown(function() { alert("hi"); });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test" style="background: red;">Hi</div>
</body>
</html>
Why isn't the right-click event being generated in Firefox?
