preventDefault() not working with proboards.alert()

[Texas]

So I needed people to right click on stuff and have a an alert pop up. So I used this function below to add a jQuery function that would work with right clicks.


(function( $ ) {
  $.fn.rightClick = function( method ) {
      
    $(this).mousedown(function( e ) {
        if( e.which === 3 ) {
            e.preventDefault();
            method();
        }
    });

  };
})( jQuery );


However, when I do $('#someID').rightClick(function(){ proboards.alert('hello')}); it doesn't prevent the context menu from showing. However, it is prevented with everything else.

Use "contextmenu" instead of "mousedown".

Just pointing out that some browsers allow the user to prevent disabling or replacing of the right click context menu. I know I have mine disabled, as I can't stand websites that do it.

Well on that note, I'll leave it the way it is.

Thanks for the help.
