I'm calling a function, that builds a table which includes several links.
I want to check if a link has been clicked with right or left mouse.
I tried to add the following part to the <a>
hyperlink.
onmousedown="function mouseDown(e){
switch (e.which) {
case 1: alert('left'); break;
case 2: alert('middle'); break;
case 3: alert('right'); break; }
}"
But nothing happens If I click on a link.
The html:
<a href="#" onmousedown="mouseDown(event);">aaa</a>
The javascript:
function mouseDown(e) {
e = e || window.event;
switch (e.which) {
case 1: alert('left'); break;
case 2: alert('middle'); break;
case 3: alert('right'); break;
}
}
The demo.
