Right Click Command

charIie · Feb 14, 2006

Hello,
I'm in the process of developing my website, and am pretty much a newbie to javascript. I am working on a part where when the reader clicks with the left button on an image it opens a new window. Is there a way that you can do this also with the right click? I would like the left click to go to one page and the right click to go to a different.

Thanks,
Charlie

Here is my script for the left click.
-----------------------------------
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>

... then the link
<a href="Close Up" onClick="originalshirt();return false;">Image</a>

For the code you've shown you should not even be using an anchor, as you're not taking the user anywhere. I suggest the following:

Code:

<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--

		function originalShirtOne() {
			window.open('page1.htm','Close Up','width=534,height=469');
		}

		function originalShirtTwo() {
			window.open('page2.htm','Close Up','width=534,height=469');
		}

	//-->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<span style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="originalShirtOne();" oncontextmenu="originalShirtTwo(); return(false);">Close Up (or img tag, etc etc)</span>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan

For some reason this does not work in IE? Any reason why? and how can this be corrected?
Thanks

That'll be your choice of window names - they should not contain spaces.
