SVG and right clicks

[Volker Gersabeck]

Hi,

just a short question: is it possible to catch a right click on an SVG
element? The svg spec says that it should be possible and the evt.button
attribute should tell which button has been pressed. However, my onclick
event handler is not triggered for right clicks (just for left clicks) and I
get the default browser right-click menu...

I'm using Firefox 3.5.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.1

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Volker

p.s. the mousedown is triggered for both left and right click...

Hi Volker,

oncontextmenu is probably what you want.
