why simple function won't work without alert() 1

[lwfg]

Why does a() stop right clicks but b() doesn't ?

function a(e)
{
if (event.button==2)
{
alert('No right click please.');
return false;
}
}
document.onmousedown=h

function b(e)
{
if (event.button==2)
return false;
}
document.onmousedown=h

Hi

And where does it stop anything ? I get only errors.

because it is the alert() that stops it.

the alert box is a modal dialog which halts processing until a response is returned.

Hi

the alert box is a modal dialog which halts processing until a response is returned.

So this is the code which usually displays an [tt]alert()[/tt] before the context menu appears ? So lame attempt to stop me that I never took a look at its code.

lwfg, unless you wan to do something constructive on secondary click ( like marking bombs in a Minesweeper game ), better give up. Such attempts just annoy the visitors, not stop them to right click.
