How do I make jstree to select node only on left click?

Question

Currently both left and right click select the node which interferes contextmenu as I use left clicks to go to other pages. How do I make select_node.jstree event know which mouse button is being clicked?

Answer 1

You can also Use "select_node":false in the "contextmenu" section of your jstree settings to disable activating the node with the right click

see jstree documentation for this

Answer 2

Because I wanted the click event to be fired on left click I return false when the click event is fired for right click.

$("#orgTree").bind("select_node.jstree", function(event, data) {

            var evt =  window.event || event;
            var button = evt.which || evt.button;

            if( button != 1 && ( typeof button != "undefined")) return false; 

            ...

        });
