[jquery] Bind event to right mouse click

How can I trigger some action with right click after disabling the browser context menu ?

I tried this . . .

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(document).bind("contextmenu",function(e){
        $('.alert').fadeToggle();
        return false;
    });
});

.contextmenu method :-

Try as follows

<div id="wrap">Right click</div>

<script>
$('#wrap').contextmenu(function() {
  alert("Right click");
});
</script>

.mousedown method:-

$('#wrap').mousedown(function(event) {

        if(event.which == 3){
            alert('Right Mouse button pressed.');
        }  
});

Just use the event-handler. Something like this should work:

$('.js-my-element').bind('contextmenu', function(e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     alert('The eventhandler will make sure, that the contextmenu dosn't appear.');
});

To disable right click context menu on all images of a page simply do this with following:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    // Disable context menu on images by right clicking
    for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++) {
        document.images[i].onmousedown = protect;
    }
});

function protect (e) {
    //alert('Right mouse button not allowed!');
    this.oncontextmenu = function() {return false;};
}

I found this answer here and I'm using it like this.

Code from my Library:

$.fn.customContextMenu = function(callBack){
    $(this).each(function(){
        $(this).bind("contextmenu",function(e){
             e.preventDefault();
             callBack();
        });
    }); 
}

Code from my page's script:

$("#newmagazine").customContextMenu(function(){
    alert("some code");
});

Is contextmenu an event?

I would use onmousedown or onclick then grab the MouseEvent's button property to determine which button was pressed (0 = left, 1 = middle, 2 = right).

The function returns too early. I've added a comment to the code below:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(document).bind("contextmenu",function(e){
        return false;
        $('.alert').fadeToggle(); // this line never gets called
    });
});

Try swapping the return false; with the next line.

document.oncontextmenu = function() {return false;}; //disable the browser context menu
$('selector-name')[0].oncontextmenu = function(){} //set jquery element context menu
