Problem with using onMouseDown

[Weston C]

I'm trying to use onMouseDown to build a certain behavior into a
javascript application (see
http://groups.google.com/[email protected]&rnum=1
for the gory details, but essentially I want a pop-up menu to appear
when I
hold the mouse down on an image element for at least one second).

However, I'm finding that Mozilla pops up its own menu when I do this,
which will definitely get in the way of my own pop up. How do I get
around this?

If it is the secondary mouse button that is pressed. Otherwise
Mozilla rv:1.5 and later could resize the image.

Yes, your design is flawed.

How do I get around this?

With normal `img' elements you cannot and that is a Good Thing.
