How to disable mouse middle button click to open in a new tab or new window

I am trying to disable right and middle button of mouse so that it cant open new window or tab when click on any menu or hyperlink. Below javascript code works fine for right button but not working for middle button. Middle button of mouse gets captured but still new window or tab opens when click on hyperlink or menu.
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown = function () {
return false;
};
}
else {
document.onmouseup = function (e) {
if (e != null && e.type == "mouseup") {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert("Sorry..... Right click Is Disabled!!!!");
return false;
}
if(e.which===2)
{
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
alert("Sorry..... Mouse Scroll click Is Disabled!!!!");
return false;
}
else if(e.button===4)
{
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
alert("Sorry..... Mouse Scroll click Is Disabled!!!!");
return false;
}
}
};
}
Its not woking for firefox, chrome and IE.

try
document.onmousedown= function (e) {
if( e.which == 2 ) {
e.preventDefault();
alert("middle button");
}
}

According to MDN the auxclick event handles the "open link in new tab with middle mouse button" behaviour.
The following code will prevent the middle click behaviour on the entire page.
window.addEventListener("auxclick", (event) => {
if (event.button === 1) event.preventDefault();
});
If you want to disable it for a certain link only, just replace the event listener target (window) with a reference to the specific node.

Javascript event keypress on hover

Hi I have multiple divs on the page. I want to raise an alert based on a user hovering over one of the divs and pressing control z. I need to in effect alert out what is in the span dependant upon which div the user is hovered over on.
I have tried with getbyId the problem arises with multiple elements. I am unsure if i need to bind every element.
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test</span></div>
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test1</span></div>
var pressed = false;
onload = function(e) {
var myElement = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
function keyaction(e, element) {
// var originator = e.target || e.srcElement;
if (e.charCode === 122 && e.ctrlKey) {
//myElement.innerHTML += String.fromCharCode(e.charCode);
alert(true);
}
}
for (var i = 0; i < myElement.length; i++) {
myElement[i].addEventListener("mouseover", function (e)
{
document.addEventListener("keypress", function(t){keyaction(t,e);}, false);
});
myElement[i].addEventListener("mouseout", function ()
{
document.removeEventListener("keypress", keyaction, false);
});
}
}

I think you are overdoing for what is needed. A simple keydown event bind on mouseover and unbind on mouseout would do the trick.
Here's an example :
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test</span></div>
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test1</span></div>
</div>
<br>
Keys Pressed :
<br>
<div id="key"></div>
$("#wrapper .mydiv").on("mouseover",function()
{
$(document).bind("keydown",function(e) {
var originator = e.keyCode || e.which;
if(e.ctrlKey)
$("#key").append(originator + ",");
});
}).on("mouseout",function()
{
$(document).unbind("keydown");
});
http://jsfiddle.net/s095evxh/2/
P.S : for some reason , Jsfiddle doesn't allow keydown event on mouseover so you might have to click manually on the div to make it work but the solution works flawless on a local system.

I would suggest that you use the normalized e.which if available. You also have code 122 which is F11 keys code not 90 related to the 'z' key.
Turn the event manager on when over and off when not per your stated desire:
$('.mydiv').on('mouseenter', function () {
$(window).on('keydown', function (e) {
var code = e.which ||e.keyCode;
$('#status').append('we:'+ code);
if (code === 90 && e.ctrlKey) {
$('#status').append('howdy');
}
});
});
$('.mydiv').on('mouseleave', function () {
$(window).off('keydown');
});
Note that I changed to post some text to a fictitious "status" div rather than your alert as that will change where the cursor hovers. Change that to some real action. There MAY be issues with the event bubbling but I will leave that determination to you.
Here is a key code list (google for more/another) https://gist.github.com/lbj96347/2567917
EDIT: simple update to push the span text into the status div:
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test</span>
</div>
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test1</span>
</div>
<div id="status">empty
<div>
$('.mydiv').on('mouseenter', function () {
var me = this;
$(window).on('keydown', function (e) {
var code = e.which || e.keyCode;
$('#status').append('we:' + code);
if (code === 90 && e.ctrlKey) {
$('#status').append($(me).find('span').text());
}
});
});
$('.mydiv').on('mouseleave', function () {
$(window).off('keydown');
$('#status').text('out');
});

Listen for the keypress on the window and add mouse events to the elements to toggle a variable with what element is active.
var activeElem = null;
$(".mydiv")
.on("mouseenter", function () {
activeElem = $(this);
}).on("mouseleave", function () {
if(activeElem && activeElem.is(this)) {
activeElem = null;
}
});
$(window).on("keydown", function (evt) {
if( activeElem && evt.keyCode===90 && evt.ctrlKey) {
console.log(activeElem.find("span").text());
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test</span></div>
<div class="mydiv">Keypress here!<span>test1</span></div>

To prevent frequent binding/unbinding of the "keydown" handler whenever the user hovers over the <div>, I would simply keep track of the <div> currently being hovered. Something like this:
var hovering = null;
$(document)
.on('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.which === 90 && e.ctrlKey && hovering) {
console.log($('span', hovering).text());
}
})
.on('mouseover', '.mydiv', function(e) {
hovering = this;
})
.on('mouseout', '.mydiv', function() {
hovering = null;
});
.mydiv:hover {
cursor: pointer;
color: gray;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="mydiv">Test <span>1</span></div>
<div class="mydiv">Test <span>2</span></div>
<div class="mydiv">Test <span>3</span></div>
<div class="mydiv">Test <span>4</span></div>
<div class="mydiv">Test <span>5</span></div>

I would propose the other way around. Listen for the keypress, and select the element which has the hover.
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if (e.charCode === 26 && e.ctrlKey) {
console.log("Key pressed");
console.log($('.mydiv:hover span').html());
}
});
Codepen Demo

If I am understanding your question correctly, you are looking for the text value of the span within the hovered element. Traversing the DOM from $(this) will get you what you want.
$(".mydiv").mouseover(function (e) {
alert($(this).find('span').text());
});

Jquery If / Else statement stopping preventdefault

I have some code for a mega navigation and I need it to hover to drop the menu on desktop and click to the drop the menu on mobile.
Here is a snippet of code that I'm having problems with:
if( $('js-full-menu').hasClass('js-touch-menu') ) {
(function(megaNavTray){
menu.on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var wasOpen = megaNavTray.hasClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.find('.js-mega-nav-tray').removeClass('is-active');
if(!wasOpen) {
megaNavTray.addClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.addClass('is-active');
} else {
megaNavTrays.removeClass('is-active');
}
});
})(megaNavTray);
} else {
(function(megaNavTray){
menu.hoverIntent( function(){
megaNavTray.addClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.addClass('is-active');
var wasOpen = megaNavTray.hasClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.find('.js-mega-nav-tray').removeClass('is-active');
if(wasOpen) {
megaNavTray.addClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.addClass('is-active');
} else {
megaNavTray.removeClass('is-active');
}
});
})(megaNavTray);
var fullNav = $('.js-full-menu');
fullNav.hoverIntent( function() {}, function() {
$('.js-mega-nav-tray').removeClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.removeClass('is-active');
});
}
Basically the problem is that with the if else statement removed leaving only the following code, the preventdefault works fine. Using the full code above the links direct to their pages instead of dropping the meganav on click.
(function(megaNavTray){
menu.on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var wasOpen = megaNavTray.hasClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.find('.js-mega-nav-tray').removeClass('is-active');
if(!wasOpen) {
megaNavTray.addClass('is-active');
megaNavTrays.addClass('is-active');
} else {
megaNavTrays.removeClass('is-active');
}
});
})(megaNavTray);
Any ideas why the if / else would be stopping the preventdefault from working?
Thanks in advance!

if( $('js-full-menu').hasClass('js-touch-menu') )
should be
if( $('.js-full-menu').hasClass('js-touch-menu') )
you forgot the . in the class selector.

I may be wrong, but try putting
function(event)
instead of
function(e)
Solved an issue for me in FF the other day.

After initial click, have to click twice with Jquery click()

Couldn't find a solution that actually worked, but I want that on a click, a div shows.
Now this works when I load the page, but then after that first click, I have to click twice every time for the div to show.
Any ideas?
$(document).ready(function () {
setMenu();
});
function setMenu()
{
var headerExtIsOpen = false;
$('#headerExt').hide();
$('#header').click(function () {
if (!headerExtIsOpen) {
$('#headerExt').show();
headerExtIsOpen = true;
} else {
$('#headerExt').hide();
headerExtIsOpen = false;
}
});
}

There is no need to remember the state, just use toggle()
$(function () {
setMenu();
});
function setMenu()
{
$('#headerExt').hide();
$('#header').on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#headerExt').toggle();
});
}
You said you want to toggle other things.
Best thing would be to toggle a class to change the color
$('#header').on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).toggleClass("open");
$('#headerExt').toggle();
});
another way is to check the state
$('#header').on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var child = $('#headerExt').toggle();
var isOpen = child.is(":visibile");
$(this).css("background-color" : isOpen ? "red" : "blue" );
});
if the layout is something like
<div class="portlet">
<h2>Header</h2>
<div>
<p>Content</p>
</div>
</div>
You can have CSS like this
.portlet h2 { background-color: yellow; }
.portlet > div { display: none; }
.portlet.open h2 { background-color: green; }
.portlet.open > div { display: block; }
And the JavaScript
$(".portlet h2 a").on("click", function() {
$(this).closest(".portlet").toggleClass("open");
});
And there is layouts where it would be possible to have zero JavaScript involved.

Turns out I had some script hidden in my .js file that closes the menu again when the user clicks elsewhere, that I forgot about.
function resetMenu(e) {
var container = $('#headerExt');
if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
$('#header').css("background-color", "inherit");
container.hide();
headerExtIsOpen = false;
}
}
I forgot to set the headerExtIsOpen back to false again after closing it in this function (code above shows the fix). Now it works fine :)

jQuery trigger event when click outside the element

$(document).click(function(evt) {
var target = evt.currentTarget;
var inside = $(".menuWraper");
if (target != inside) {
alert("bleep");
}
});
I am trying to figure out how to make it so that if a user clicks outside of a certain div (menuWraper), it triggers an event.. I realized I can just make every click fire an event, then check if the clicked currentTarget is same as the object selected from $(".menuWraper"). However, this doesn't work, currentTarget is HTML object(?) and $(".menuWraper") is Object object? I am very confused.

Just have your menuWraper element call event.stopPropagation() so that its click event doesn't bubble up to the document.
Try it out: http://jsfiddle.net/Py7Mu/
$(document).click(function() {
alert('clicked outside');
});
$(".menuWraper").click(function(event) {
alert('clicked inside');
event.stopPropagation();
});
http://api.jquery.com/event.stopPropagation/
Alternatively, you could return false; instead of using event.stopPropagation();

if you have child elements like dropdown menus
$('html').click(function(e) {
//if clicked element is not your element and parents aren't your div
if (e.target.id != 'your-div-id' && $(e.target).parents('#your-div-id').length == 0) {
//do stuff
}
});

The most common application here is closing on clicking the document but not when it came from within that element, for this you want to stop the bubbling, like this:
$(".menuWrapper").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation(); //stops click event from reaching document
});
$(document).click(function() {
$(".menuWrapper").hide(); //click came from somewhere else
});
All were doing here is preventing the click from bubbling up (via event.stopPrpagation()) when it came from within a .menuWrapper element. If this didn't happen, the click came from somewhere else, and will by default make it's way up to document, if it gets there, we hide those .menuWrapper elements.

try these..
$(document).click(function(evt) {
var target = evt.target.className;
var inside = $(".menuWraper");
//alert($(target).html());
if ($.trim(target) != '') {
if ($("." + target) != inside) {
alert("bleep");
}
}
});

$(document).click((e) => {
if ($.contains($(".the-one-you-can-click-and-should-still-open").get(0), e.target)) {
} else {
this.onClose();
}
});

I know that the question has been answered, but I hope my solution helps other people.
stopPropagation caused problems in my case, because I needed the click event for something else. Moreover, not every element should cause the div to be closed when clicked.
My solution:
$(document).click(function(e) {
if (($(e.target).closest("#mydiv").attr("id") != "mydiv") &&
$(e.target).closest("#div-exception").attr("id") != "div-exception") {
alert("Clicked outside!");
}
});

I do not think document fires the click event. Try using the body element to capture the click event. Might need to check on that...

This code will open the menu in question, and will setup a click listener event. When triggered it will loop through the target id's parents until it finds the menu id. If it doesn't, it will hide the menu because the user has clicked outside the menu. I've tested it and it works.
function tog_alerts(){
if($('#Element').css('display') == 'none'){
$('#Element').show();
setTimeout(function () {
document.body.addEventListener('click', Close_Alerts, false);
}, 500);
}
}
function Close_Alerts(e){
var current = e.target;
var check = 0;
while (current.parentNode){
current = current.parentNode
if(current.id == 'Element'){
check = 1;
}
}
if(check == 0){
document.body.removeEventListener('click', Close_Alerts, false);
$('#Element').hide();
}
}

function handler(event) {
var target = $(event.target);
if (!target.is("div.menuWraper")) {
alert("outside");
}
}
$("#myPage").click(handler);

try this one
$(document).click(function(event) {
if(event.target.id === 'xxx' )
return false;
else {
// do some this here
}
});

var visibleNotification = false;
function open_notification() {
if (visibleNotification == false) {
$('.notification-panel').css('visibility', 'visible');
visibleNotification = true;
} else {
$('.notification-panel').css('visibility', 'hidden');
visibleNotification = false;
}
}
$(document).click(function (evt) {
var target = evt.target.className;
if(target!="fa fa-bell-o bell-notification")
{
var inside = $(".fa fa-bell-o bell-notification");
if ($.trim(target) != '') {
if ($("." + target) != inside) {
if (visibleNotification == true) {
$('.notification-panel').css('visibility', 'hidden');
visibleNotification = false;
}
}
}
}
});
