209471 - Some sites manage to disable right-click context menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 86193

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[NorthMan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows 1991 Government Server Edition; en-US) Gecko
Build Identifier: 

This is the 3rd site I've seen which has been able to use Javascript to disable
mozilla's otherwise always-available right-click context menu.  I neglected to
write down the URLs of the first two sites.

This guy's site seems to have some special code on it so that the cursor is
changed to a crosshair.  I'm not sure what that's about.  I think that is a
result of the javascript, because I can right click in the text ad area at the
top of the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto above page
2. Right-click anywhere on the page, image, link, text, doesn't matter.
3. One of those annoying javascript alerts comes up.  O how I hate those.


Expected Results:  
Mozilla usually pops up the alert, and then immediately (while the alert is
still up) the right-click context menu comes up also.

This is reproducable on both the
1.4a latest nightly downloaded June 15
1.5a 2003061204 nightly

What's the bug about this? The site just uses 
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")
and 
function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

So this is wanted, what's the bug in Mozilla here?
