simplest way to intercept and use right mouse click?

just the orthodox ones.

Yeah, if you have to explain it; it's not funny. This one looks like
a hard way to go.

The jQuery code has been *dissected* here on the newsgroup. Read the
reports and you'll be able to spot when jQuery is fouling something
up. It's easy when you know what it is doing (as opposed to relying
on anecdotes and documentation from those who don't.)

yes, dissected you say; then the hardest part is already done. All what
is left to do is to make better and more popular library.

yawn, yawn.. yes, if you say so.

Don't take my word for it.

then the hardest part is already done.

That was the easy part, which adds to the incredulity at seeing people
tripping over it every day.

All what
is left to do is to make better and more popular library.

All what is left? Made better. Much better. Go back and read a bit
and you'll see that I had (have) no interest in marketing such a thing
(and don't think it is the best idea anyway.)

Still, I would like to see more people learn from it than fumble
around with code that is obviously broken (and beyond fixing by its
authors.) To that end, today looks like a record day. Thanks to all
who chipped in.

Or, you can work with browser defaults and cover majority of users.
Searching for lowest common denominator among features could lead to
lynx from '96 and I'm not sure how much of dom and js it understands.


You know, there has to be something opposite to the cults and pagans.

It's getting a little clearer. I don't recall talk of pagans, but
jQuery is certainly a cult, as was Prototype before it. Cults are not
always religious. Take Amway.[1]

For evidence, you don't have to look further than this recent thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/93eaa9ec8f2b4ff0#

To summarize.

Buy it, the leader wrote it!

Buy it, the leader wrote it!

See CLJ for reviews

CLJ is an evil plot against the leader.

The smiley is a direct quote. As if reviews of bad books are to be
expected from such an evil newsgroup, which BTW, anyone can post to
(unlike their heavily censored groups.)

Sounds just like a cult, doesn't it?

[1] Kidding, kidding!

Good job quoting the smiley correctly. What they actually wrote was "The
guys at comp.lang.javascript have a very strong bias against J. Resig,
jQuery and other JS frameworks, that's not surprising ". I think
that's a pretty fair description.

It's a fair description? You are mad as a mongoose. Why don't you
see if they have an opening?

To stay with the religious theme we've got going here, your posts about

The religious "theme" was introduced by "ace" and has been dismissed.

jQuery and its shortcomings remind me of the crusades - take back the
holy land, smite the infidels and all that. I wonder if they're going to
be equally successful in the long run.

jQuery's obvious bugs remind you of the crusades? I wonder if they
will successfully fix them... ever.
