Bind to right-click with jQuery?

Question

I want to bind a function to a right click. Is this possible with jQuery UI?

Answer 1

though not listed on http://api.jquery.com/bind/, the 'contextmenu' event seems to work

$('.rightclickable').bind('contextmenu', function() {
    // right-click!
});

Answer 2

Not directly, but you can check which mouse button was pressed in a normal mousedown event handler, with the which property of the event object:

$("#someElem").mousedown(function(e) {
    if(e.which == 3) {
        //Right click!
    }
});

Here's a working example of the above.
