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

for the first question only add :
event.returnValue = false;
where you process the right click
for the second one test the source of the click :
if (event.srcElement.classname == something)....
you have to put a class attribute named 'something' in the elements you
are going to click on
there are other ways to do this of course but this is a simple one

I have a last question concerning
the possibility of starting a function when a link, button, etc. is
rightclicked (when leftclicked a default action is performed e.g. page is
called)?

What would be the source code for the from u above mentioned example "if
(event.srcElement.classname == something)...." below (when I press the
button)?
