How to detect right mouse click + paste using JavaScript?
How to capture event when anyone paste after right click and then paste? I want to alert when any one paste anything in textbox after right click and paste. In javascript is there any way to know right click and paste?
document.onmousedown=doSomething;
function doSomething(e) {
var rightclick;
if (!e) var e = window.event;
if (e.which) rightclick = (e.which == 3);
else if (e.button) rightclick = (e.button == 2);
alert('Rightclick: ' + rightclick); // true or false
}
which is an old Netscape property. Left button gives a value of 1, middle button (mouse wheel) gives 2, right button gives 3. W3C and Microsoft happen to agree on this one and give right button a value of 2. The combination of e.which and e.button is used as in Mozilla e.button , for ctrl-click the value is 2.
$("#pasteable").on('paste',function(event){
setTimeout(function(){
alert($("#pasteable").val());
},100);
});
fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/BgW7x/
var elem = document.getElementById("myID");
elem.onclick = function( event ){
var event = event || window.event;
if( event.which === '3' ){
// it was a right click
}
};
There's your pure Javascript way to detect whether an element has been clicked with the right mouse button. Like other people have noted, you can use jQuery to detect the paste event. Here is an answer that explains how to detect a paste event without jQuery.
Capture a normal click event (e.g. with jQuery: $( node ).click( function( ev ){ ... } ) and check if the which property >= 2:
$( node ).click( function( ev ){
if( ev.which >= 2 ){
// right click
}
} );
Note that the exact value of which to detect right-click changes based on browser (but I think it's always either 2 or 3). See http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_properties.html for more details.
Have a look at this
http://jsfiddle.net/uUqrF/enter link description here
keydown event is added to handle specific scenario,
e.g. If u right clicked on text box and then try to paste from ctrl+v
In this case paste event detect this paste also.
check for the mouse button in the click event by using the event property
$('#element').click(function(event) {
if (event.which==3) {
alert('Right mouse button pressed');
break;
}
});
