jQuery: preventDefault() not working on input/click events?
- by Jason
I want to disable the default contextMenu when a user right-clicks on an input field so that I can show a custom contextMenu. Generally speaking, its pretty easy to disable the right-click menu by doing something like:
$([whatever]).bind("click", function(e) { e.preventDefault(); });
And in fact, I can do this on just about every element EXCEPT for input fields in FF - anyone know why or could point me towards some documentation?
Here is the relevant code I am working with, thanks guys.
HTML:
<script type="text/javascript">
var r = new RightClickTool();
</script>
<div id="main">
<input type="text" class="listen rightClick" value="0" />
</div>
JS:
function RightClickTool(){
var _this = this;
var _items = ".rightClick";
$(document).ready(function() { _this.init(); });
this.init = function() {
_this.setListeners();
}
this.setListeners = function() {
$(_items).click(function(e) {
var webKit = !$.browser.msie && e.button == 0;
var ie = $.browser.msie && e.button == 1;
if(webKit||ie)
{
// Left mouse...do something()
} else if(e.button == 2) {
e.preventDefault();
// Right mouse...do something else();
}
});
}
} // Ends Class
