Details

When having a link with a OnClick() function defined, this function is executed,
even when I do a click with the right mouse button. 

Expected result:
OnClick() method not executed for "non-left" mouseclicks.
NS4.x and IE5.x don't fire this event

Steps to reproduce:
Right-Click on the Delete link below and the Confirmation dialog pops up.



<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-------------------//
function sure() {
	return confirm('Delete this entry?')
}
//-------------------->
</script>
<a HREF="modify.html">Modify</a>
<a HREF="DoDelete.html" onClick='return sure()'>Delete</a>
</body>
</html>
Browser, not engine. Reassigning to Event Handling component.
