I'm trying to have a bgcolor change for an element on mouseover, mouseout, and onclick. The problem is Javascript overwrites my onclick with mouseout, so I can't have both. So is there any way to have mouseover reset after mouseout?
function init() {
document.getElementById('default').onmouseover = function() {
tabHoverOn('default', 'grey')
};
document.getElementById('default').onmouseout = function() {
tabHoverOff('default', 'yellow')
};
document.getElementById('section2').onmouseover = function() {
tabHoverOn('section2', 'grey')
};
document.getElementById('section2').onmouseout = function() {
tabHoverOff('section2', 'yellow')
};
document.getElementById('section3').onmouseover = function() {
tabHoverOn('section3', 'grey')
};
document.getElementById('section3').onmouseout = function() {
tabHoverOff('section3', 'yellow')
};
}
function tabHoverOn(id, bgcolor) {
document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor = bgcolor;
}
function tabHoverOff(id, bgcolor) {
document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundColor = bgcolor;
}
var current = document.getElementById('default');
function tab1Highlight(id) {
if (current != null) {
current.className = "";
}
id.className = "tab1highlight";
current = id;
}
function tab2highlight(id) {
if (current != null) {
current.className = "";
}
id.className = "tab2highlight";
current = id;
}
function tab3highlight(id) {
if (current != null) {
current.className = "";
}
id.className = "tab3highlight";
current = id;
}
window.onload = init();

<h1>Exercise: Navigation Tab #5</h1>
<ul>
<li>
Combine the navigation tab exercises #1, #3, and #4 in one file, including <br>
<ul>
<li>temporarily change the background color of a tab when the cursor is hovering on it.</li>
<li>set the foreground and background color of the tab being clicked.</li>
<li>change the background color of the main element based on the selected tab.</li>
</ul>
<p>
To test, click on a tab and then move your mouse around. For example, the third tab is clicked, the tab background color is switched to blue. Then hover the mouse over the third tab, the background color of the tab should be switch to light green and then back to blue after the mouse moves out.

It's generally a good idea to keep CSS out of JavaScript completely if you can help it. A better strategy for solving the hover problem is to use the CSS pseudo selector :hover rather than coding the color changes in JavaScript. If you give all your tabs the same class, you only have to write the CSS once:
.tab {
background-color: yellow;
}
.tab:hover {
background-color: grey;
}
Once you've done that, you can also relegate the click styling to CSS by creating an event handler that adds and removes a special class each time a tab is clicked.
In the CSS file:
.tab.clicked {
background-color: blue;
}
And then in JavaScript, something like:
var tabs = document.getElementsByClassName('tab');
for (i = 0; i < tabs.length; i ++) {
tabs[i].onclick = function (ev) {
for (i = 0; i < tabs.length; i ++) {
tabs[i].classList.remove('clicked');
}
ev.currentTarget.classList.add('clicked');
};
}
I've created a JSFiddle to illustrate.
Try updating a Boolean variable.
var Ele = document.getElementById('default');
var clicked = false;
Ele.onclick = function(){
clicked = true;
// add additional functionality here
}
Ele.onmouseover = function(){
clicked = false;
// add additional functionality here
}
Ele.onmouseout = function(){
if(!clicked){
// add additional functionality here
}
}
I am using JWplayer 7 (HTML5 render mode) in my site.
I created a player with custom playlist, but cannot highlight current playing video when it has been clicked.
Is there any solution to add a custom class, like .active when click on a item of list.
This is my code to setup JWplayer.
var playerInstance = jwplayer("videoCont");
playerInstance.setup({
image: "{PLAYLIST_IMAGE}",
autostart: false,
aspectratio: "16:9",
playlist : "{NV_BASE_SITEURL}{MODULE_NAME}/player/{RAND_SS}{PLAYLIST_ID}-{PLIST_CHECKSS}-{RAND_SS}{FAKE_ID}/",
controls: true,
displaydescription: true,
displaytitle: true,
flashplayer: "{NV_BASE_SITEURL}themes/default/modules/{MODULE_NAME}/jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf",
primary: "html5",
repeat: false,
skin: {"name": "stormtrooper"},
stagevideo: false,
stretching: "uniform",
visualplaylist: true,
width: "100%"
});
And following code to generate custom player
var list = document.getElementById("show-list");
var html = list.innerHTML;
html +="<ul class='list-group'>"
playerInstance.on('ready',function(){
var playlist = playerInstance.getPlaylist();
for (var index=0;index<playlist.length;index++){
var playindex = index +1;
html += "<li class='list-group-item'><span>"+playlist[index].title+"</span><span class='pull-right'><label onclick='javascript:playThis("+index+")' title='Phát "+playlist[index].title+"' class='btn btn-default btn-xs'><i class='fa fa-play'></i></label><label class='btn btn-default btn-xs' href='"+playlist[index].link+"' title='Xem ở cửa sổ mới' target='_blank'><i class='fa fa-external-link-square'></i></label></span></li>"
list.innerHTML = html;
}
html +="</ul>"
});
function playThis(index) {
playerInstance.playlistItem(index);
}
SOLUTION : Based on an idea of #zer00ne
Add following code :
playerInstance.on('playlistItem', function() {
var playlist = playerInstance.getPlaylist();
var index = playerInstance.getPlaylistIndex();
var current_li = document.getElementById("play-items-"+index);
for(var i = 0; i < playlist.length; i++) {
$('li[id^=play-items-]').removeClass( "active" )
}
current_li.classList.add('active');
});
before
function playThis(index) {
playerInstance.playlistItem(index);
}
And edit html generate like this :
html += "<li id='play-items-"+index+"' class='list-group-item'><span>"+playlist[index].title+"</span><span class='pull-right'><label onclick='javascript:playThis("+index+")' title='"+lang_play+" "+playlist[index].title+"' class='btn btn-primary btn-xs mgr_10'><i class='fa fa-play'></i></label><a href='"+playlist[index].link+"' title='"+lang_new_window+"' target='_blank'><label class='btn btn-default btn-xs'><i class='fa fa-external-link-square'></i></label></a></span></li>"
With adding id='play-items-"+index+"' to identify unique class for each item of list.
Thanks for idea of #zer00ne !
Your code not total works with my site but it give a solution.
playerInstance.on('playlistItem', function() {
var playlist = playerInstance.getPlaylist();
var index = playerInstance.getPlaylistIndex();
var current_li = document.getElementById("play-items-"+index);
for(var i = 0; i < playlist.length; i++) {
$('li[id^=play-items-]').removeClass( "active" )
}
current_li.classList.add('active');
});
This code will remove all "active" from each li element and find the ID is correct with current playing Index, then add "active" class.
UPDATE
Firefox has a problem with li[i], since it's a HTMLCollection (nodeList) and not live coming from querySelectorAll(). One extra step needs to be added in order to convert li[i] to a true Array. The update involves a function called nodeList2Array(sel).
UPDATE
I misinterpreted the OP's request:
Is there any solution to add a custom class, like .active when click on a item of list.
So what is needed is manipulation of the generated <li>s of the custom playlist.
SOLUTION
Add this after the the rest of the script:
jw.on('playlistItem', function() {
var playlist = jw.getPlaylist();
var idx = jw.getPlaylistIndex();
//var li = document.querySelectorAll('.group-list-item');
var li = nodeList2Array('.group-list-item');
for(var i = 0; i < playlist.length; i++) {
if(i === idx) {
li[i].classList.add('active');
}
else {
li[i].classList.remove('active');
}
}
});
function nodeList2Array(sel) {
var li = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(sel));
return li;
}

!!!IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS!!!
The following demo DEFINITELY WORKS, but you need to enter your own key in order for it to function. JW7 does not have a free version like JW6 does.
var jw = jwplayer("media1");
jw.setup({
playlist: "https://content.jwplatform.com/feeds/13ShtP5m.rss",
displaytitle: false,
width: 680,
height: 360
});
var list = document.querySelector(".group-list");
var html = list.innerHTML;
jw.on('ready', function() {
var playlist = jw.getPlaylist();
for (var idx = 0; idx < playlist.length; idx++) {
html += "<li class='group-list-item' title='" + playlist[idx].title + "'><a href='javascript:playThis(" + idx + ");'><img height='75' width='120' src='" + playlist[idx].image + "'><figcaption>" + playlist[idx].title + "</figcaption></a></li>";
list.innerHTML = html;
}
});
//SOLUTION~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
jw.on('playlistItem', function() {
var playlist = jw.getPlaylist();
var idx = jw.getPlaylistIndex();
var li = document.querySelectorAll('.group-list-item');
for (var i = 0; i < playlist.length; i++) {
if (i === idx) {
li[i].classList.add('active');

Sure it's possible to add a class such as .active then apply styles that way, but JW7 has extensive CSS Skin documentation. I styled the skin using the technique detailed here:

Try putting the sub menu divs before the corresponding a tags (instead of putting these divs after them).
For instance, try this:
<div class='sub' id="submenu0_0" onMouseOver="openSub('submenu0_0')" onMouseOut="startSubTimer()">
<a href='view.php?id=110'>Year 11</a>
<a href='view.php?id=109'>Year 12</a>
</div>
Business Studies
Instead of this:
Business Studies
<div class='sub' id="submenu0_0" onMouseOver="openSub('submenu0_0')" onMouseOut="startSubTimer()">
<a href='view.php?id=110'>Year 11</a>
<a href='view.php?id=109'>Year 12</a>
</div>
DOM Access
First, you have to make absolutely sure to not access the DOM by getElementbyId(); before the whole page has loaded.
You have to invoke the script right before the closing body tag or wrap your whole code in one function and invoke it at the end, right before the closing body tag. This is Yahoo! and Google Front-End Development best practice.
Alternatively you could use JQuery's $(document).ready() function or another JavaScript library's document-loaded function. Using a library for addressing just this issue, however would be overkill.
Global Variables
By declaring var menuItem = 0; outside the function scope, you declare the variable as a global, which is a very bad thing! It will clutter your entire Web site's namespace. Declare variables inside a function to create a closure.
Also you don't want to initialise your menuItem variable with an integer, because you will reference an object later on (a DOM object). Albeit Javascript doesn't need types to be dclared and this will work, it is creating confusion with the reader of the code. Just use var menuItem; inside the function.
CSS Block Formatting Context
Try using display: inline or display: block with your HTML elements. Make sure to read and understand the W3C CSS Visual formatting model.
You have individual IDs for each sub level so you could add styling for each.
#submenu0_0 > a {top:0px;}
#submenu0_1 > a {top:25px;}
#submenu0_2 > a {top:50px;}
#submenu0_3 > a {top:75px;}
Is this due to quirks mode?
Try using a proper doctype like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
On another question I asked if I could set the font-weight to bold on a text element when that text is selected. This has been completed much to the avail of #Eric ! But currently, when you click a text, you can happily click another one and both of the text will be bold.
How can I prevent more than one text element from being bold?
Here is my code on JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6XMzf/ or below:
CSS:
html,body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0
}
#background {
width: 100%;

If you don't have a selector engine handy like jQuery and really have to do this in plain Javascript, I would do it like this:
function addClass(elem, className) {
if (elem.className.indexOf(className) == -1) {
elem.className += " " + className;
}
}
function removeClass(elem, className) {
elem.className = elem.className.replace(new RegExp("\\s*" + className), "");
}
var lastSelected = null;
function initNavClickHandler() {
var nav = document.getElementById('navigationText');
var navItems = nav.getElementsByTagName('li');
for (var i = 0; i < navItems.length; i++) {
navItems[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
addClass(this, "selected");
if (lastSelected) {
removeClass(lastSelected, "selected");
}
lastSelected = this;
}, false);
}
}
initNavClickHandler();
Then, add a CSS rule that controls the selected look:
.selected {font-weight: 800;}
This is a lot more flexible for styling because you can add as many CSS rules as you want to the .selected class to change/modify it without ever touching your code.
You can see it work here: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/rrxaQ/
If you can use things like jQuery then this is a much simpler problem. Let me show you the jQuery solution for both highlighting and unhighlighting.
$("#navigationText li").click( function() {
$("#navigationText li").css("fontWeight", "100");
$(this).css("fontWeight", "400");
});
Now you can achieve the same thing yourself without jQuery. You either need to create a global that holds the currently bolded item and remove the fontWeight or just remove the fontWeight from all items (brute force).
//untested with global to store currently selected
var nav = document.getElementById('navigationText');
var activeItem = null;
var navItems = nav.getElementsByTagName('li');
for (var i = 0; i < navItems.length; i++) {
navItems[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
if (activeItem) {activeItem.style.fontWeight = '100'; }
this.style.fontWeight = '400';
activeItem = this;
}, false);
}
//sorry I don't feel like writing a brute force one for you!
I want to add a custom right-click menu to my web application. Can this be done without using any pre-built libraries? If so, how to display a simple custom right-click menu which does not use a 3rd party JavaScript library?
I'm aiming for something like what Google Docs does. It lets users right-click and show the users their own menu.
NOTE:
I want to learn how to make my own versus using something somebody made already since most of the time, those 3rd party libraries are bloated with features whereas I only want features that I need so I want it to be completely hand-made by me.
Answering your question - use contextmenu event, like below:
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
alert("You've tried to open context menu"); //here you draw your own menu
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
} else {
document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function() {
alert("You've tried to open context menu");
window.event.returnValue = false;
});
}
<body>
Lorem ipsum...
</body>
But you should ask yourself, do you really want to overwrite default right-click behavior - it depends on application that you're developing.
JSFIDDLE
Was very useful for me. For the sake of people like me, expecting the drawing of menu, I put here the code I used to make the right-click menu:
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($("#test").addEventListener) {
$("#test").addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
alert("You've tried to open context menu"); //here you draw your own menu
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
} else {
//document.getElementById("test").attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function() {
//$(".test").bind('contextmenu', function() {
$('body').on('contextmenu', 'a.test', function() {
//alert("contextmenu"+event);
document.getElementById("rmenu").className = "show";
document.getElementById("rmenu").style.top = mouseY(event) + 'px';
document.getElementById("rmenu").style.left = mouseX(event) + 'px';
window.event.returnValue = false;
});
}
});
// this is from another SO post...
$(document).bind("click", function(event) {
document.getElementById("rmenu").className = "hide";
});
function mouseX(evt) {
if (evt.pageX) {
return evt.pageX;
} else if (evt.clientX) {
return evt.clientX + (document.documentElement.scrollLeft ?
document.documentElement.scrollLeft :
document.body.scrollLeft);
} else {
return null;
}
}
function mouseY(evt) {
if (evt.pageY) {
return evt.pageY;
} else if (evt.clientY) {
return evt.clientY + (document.documentElement.scrollTop ?
document.documentElement.scrollTop :
document.body.scrollTop);
} else {
return null;
}
}

A combination of some nice CSS and some non-standard html tags with no external libraries can give a nice result (JSFiddle)
HTML
<menu id="ctxMenu">
<menu title="File">
<menu title="Save"></menu>
<menu title="Save As"></menu>
<menu title="Open"></menu>
</menu>
<menu title="Edit">
<menu title="Cut"></menu>
<menu title="Copy"></menu>
<menu title="Paste"></menu>
</menu>
</menu>
Note: the menu tag does not exist, I'm making it up (you can use anything)
CSS
#ctxMenu{
display:none;
z-index:100;
}
menu {
position:absolute;
display:block;
left:0px;
top:0px;
height:20px;
width:20px;
padding:0;
margin:0;
border:1px solid;
background-color:white;
font-weight:normal;
white-space:nowrap;
}
menu:hover{
background-color:#eef;
font-weight:bold;
}
menu:hover > menu{
display:block;
}
menu > menu{
display:none;
position:relative;
top:-20px;
left:100%;
width:55px;
}
menu[title]:before{
content:attr(title);
}
menu:not([title]):before{
content:"\2630";
}
The JavaScript is just for this example, I personally remove it for persistent menus on windows
var notepad = document.getElementById("notepad");
notepad.addEventListener("contextmenu",function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var ctxMenu = document.getElementById("ctxMenu");
ctxMenu.style.display = "block";
ctxMenu.style.left = (event.pageX - 10)+"px";
ctxMenu.style.top = (event.pageY - 10)+"px";
},false);
notepad.addEventListener("click",function(event){
var ctxMenu = document.getElementById("ctxMenu");
ctxMenu.style.display = "";
ctxMenu.style.left = "";
ctxMenu.style.top = "";
},false);
Also note, you can potentially modify menu > menu{left:100%;} to menu > menu{right:100%;} for a menu that expands from right to left. You would need to add a margin or something somewhere though
According to the answers here and on other 'flows, I've made a version that looks like the one of Google Chrome, with css3 transition.
JS Fiddle
Lets start easy, since we have the js above on this page, we can worry about the css and layout. The layout that we will be using is an <a> element with a <img> element or a font awesome icon (<i class="fa fa-flag"></i>) and a <span> to show the keyboard shortcuts. So this is the structure:
<a href="#" onclick="doSomething()">
<img src="path/to/image.gif" />
This is a menu option
<span>Ctrl + K</span>
</a>
We will put these in a div and show that div on the right-click. Let's style them like in Google Chrome, shall we?
#menu a {
display: block;
color: #555;
text-decoration: no[...]
Now we will add the code from the accepted answer, and get the X and Y value of the cursor. To do this, we will use e.clientX and e.clientY. We are using client, so the menu div has to be fixed.
var i = document.getElementById("menu").style;
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
var posX = e.clientX;
var posY = e.client[...]
And that is it! Just add the css transisions to fade in and out, and done!
var i = document.getElementById("menu").style;
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
var posX = e.clientX;
var posY = e.clientY;
menu(posX, posY);
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
document.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
i.opacity = "0";
setTimeout(function() {
i.visibility = "hidden";
}, 501);
}, false);
} else {
document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function(e) {
var posX = e.clientX;
var posY = e.clientY;
menu(posX, posY);
e.preventDefault();
});
document.attachEvent('onclick', function(e) {
i.opacity = "0";
setTimeout(function() {
i.visibility = "hidden";
}, 501);
});
}
function menu(x, y) {
i.top = y + "px";
i.left = x + "px";
i.visibility = "visible";
i.opacity = "1";

Simplest jump start function, create a context menu at the cursor position, that destroys itself on mouse leave.
oncontextmenu = (e) => {
e.preventDefault()
let menu = document.createElement("div")
menu.id = "ctxmenu"
menu.style = `top:${e.pageY-10}px;left:${e.pageX-40}px`
menu.onmouseleave = () => ctxmenu.outerHTML = ''
menu.innerHTML = "<p>Option1</p><p>Option2</p><p>Option3</p><p>Option4</p><p onclick='alert(`Thank you!`)'>Upvote</p>"
document.body.appendChild(menu)
}
#ctxmenu {
position: fixed;
background: ghostwhite;
color: black;
cursor: pointer;
border: 1px black solid
}
#ctxmenu > p {
padding: 0 1rem;
margin: 0
}
#ctxmenu > p:hover {
background: black;
color: ghostwhite
}
You could try simply blocking the context menu by adding the following to your body tag:
<body oncontextmenu="return false;">
This will block all access to the context menu (not just from the right mouse button but from the keyboard as well).
P.S. you can add this to any tag you want to disable the context menu on
for example:
<div class="mydiv" oncontextmenu="return false;">
Will disable the context menu in that particular div only
Pure JS and css solution for a truly dynamic right click context menu, albeit based on predefined naming conventions for the elements id, links etc.
jsfiddle
and the code you could copy paste into a single static html page :
var rgtClickContextMenu = document.getElementById('div-context-menu');
/** close the right click context menu on click anywhere else in the page*/
document.onclick = function(e) {
rgtClickContextMenu.style.display = 'none';
}
/**
present the right click context menu ONLY for the elements having the right class
by replacing the 0 or any digit after the "to-" string with the element id , which
triggered the event
*/
document.oncontextmenu = function(e) {
//alert(e.target.id)
var elmnt = e.target
if (elmnt.className.startsWith("cls-context-menu")) {
e.preventDefault();
var eid = elmnt.id.replace(/link-/, "")
rgtClickContextMenu.style.left = e.pageX + 'px'
rgtClickContextMenu.style.top = e.pageY + 'px'
rgtClickContextMenu.style.display = 'block'
var toRepl = "to=" + eid.toString()
rgtClickContextMenu.innerHTML = rgtClickContextMenu.innerHTML.replace(/to=\d+/g, toRepl)
//alert(rgtClickContextMenu.innerHTML.toString())
}
}

Here is a very good tutorial on how to build a custom context menu with a full working code example (without JQuery and other libraries).
You can also find their demo code on GitHub.
They give a detailed step-by-step explanation that you can follow along to build your own right-click context menu (including html, css and javascript code) and summarize it at the end by giving the complete example code.
You can follow along easily and adapt it to your own needs. And there is no need for JQuery or other libraries.
This is how their example menu code looks like:
<nav id="context-menu" class="context-menu">
<ul class="context-menu__items">
<li class="context-menu__item">
<i class="fa fa-eye"></i> View Task
</li>
<li class="context-menu__item">
<i class="fa fa-edit"></i> Edit Task
</li>
<li class="context-menu__item">
<i class="fa fa-times"></i> Delete Task
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
A working example (task list) can be found on codepen.
I know this has already been answered, but I spent some time wrestling with the second answer to get the native context menu to disappear and have it show up where the user clicked.

<script>
function RightClickFunction() {
// Enter your code here;
return false;
}
</script>
And by entering return false; you will cancel out the context menu.
if you still want to display the context menu you can just remove the return false; line.
Tested and works in Opera 12.17, firefox 30, Internet Explorer 9 and chrome 26.0.1410.64
document.oncontextmenu =function( evt ){
alert("OK?");
return false;
}
For those looking for a very simple self-contained implementation of a custom context menu using bootstrap 5 and jQuery 3, here it is...

What I'm doing up here
Create your own custom div menu and set the position: absolute and display:none in case.
Add to the page or element to be clicked the oncontextmenu event.
Cancel the default browser action with return false.
User js to invoke your own actions.
You should remember if you want to use the Firefox only solution, if you want to add it to the whole document you should add contextmenu="mymenu" to the <html> tag not to the body tag.
You should pay attention to this.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.rightclick {
/* YOUR CONTEXTMENU'S CSS */
visibility: hidden;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid grey;
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="rightclick" id="ya">
<p onclick="alert('choc-a-late')">I like chocolate</p><br><p onclick="awe-so-me">I AM AWESOME</p>
</div>
<p>Right click to get sweet results!</p>
</body>
<script>
document.onclick = noClick;
document.oncontextmenu = rightClick;
function rightClick(e) {
e = e || window.event;
e.preventDefault();
document.getElementById("ya").style.visibility = "visible";
console.log("Context Menu v1.3.0 by IamGuest opened.");
}
function noClick() {
document.getElementById("ya").style.visibility = "hidden";
console.log("Context Menu v1.3.0 by IamGuest closed.");
}
</script>
<!-- Coded by IamGuest. Thank you for using this code! -->
</html>
You can tweak and modify this code to make a better looking, more efficient contextmenu. As for modifying an existing contextmenu, I'm not sure how to do that... Check out this fiddle for an organized point of view. Also, try clicking the items in my contextmenu. They should alert you a few awesome messages. If they don't work, try something more... complex.
I use something similar to the following jsfiddle
function onright(el, cb) {
//disable right click
document.body.oncontextmenu = 'return false';
el.addEventListener('contextmenu', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); return false });
el.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
if (~~(e.button) === 2) {
if (e.preventDefault) {
e.preventDefault();
} else {
e.returnValue = false;
}
return false;
}
});
// then bind Your cb
el.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
~~(e.button) === 2 && cb.call(el, e);
});
}
if You target older IE browsers you should anyway complete it with the ' attachEvent; case
