Left, Right, DoubleClick functions
I've been trying for a while to separate different types of click onto a mouse. Originally I used to look at which mouse button is clicked, and then call a different function for each one, and then check if it was double click or not, but its a bit of a mess. What Id like to do is just add a function via a bind, as in:-
$("#divNY").on("click", function() {
$("#divNY").html("Single Click");
});
$("#divNY").on("rightclick", function() {
$("#divNY").html("Right Click");
});
$("#divNY").on("dblclick", function() {
$("#divNY").html("Double Click");
});
If there was a div called 'divNY', like:-
<div id="divNY">nothing yet</div>
Reading up on things, I know I need to add a rightclick function in like to use contextmenu as well:-
(function($) {
$.fn.rightclick = function(method) {
$(this).bind("contextmenu rightclick", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
method();
return false;
})
};
})(jQuery);
Ive tried to just use the below, but it doesnt work:-
$("#divNY").on("contextmenu", function() {
$("#divNY").html("Right Click");
});
Anyone know how I can use my code like:-
$("#divNY").on("click", function() {
$("#divNY").html("Single Click");
});
$("#divNY").on("rightclick", function() {
$("#divNY").html("Right Click");
});
$("#divNY").on("dblclick", function() {
$("#divNY").html("Double Click");
});
Ive put my work soo far on a jsfiddle at - https://jsfiddle.net/m3yfrt7q/
Huge thanks in advance :-)
