Dear reader!

I am kind of new in the JS business and have encountered the following
problem.
The idea of the JScript is to call a (help-)page when clicking the right
mouse button over a link, button, etc... in both browsers (MSIE and NN). The
code below does it but unfortunately
1) whereever I click the right mousebuttton in the browser window the new
window is opened
2) and in MSIE additionally to the window, the context menu appears.

My
1) How can I prevent the context menu from being opened in MSIE?
2) How can I start the function only when a link, button, etc. is
rightclicked (when leftclicked a default action is performed)?

Thax a lot!

Rafael
