Disabling right click context menu on a HTML Canvas?

Question

Making a painting app using HTML5 and Canvas.

I think I want to have a similar system to applications like Paint and Photoshop where you can have a primary and secondary

Answer 1

You can use this:

$('img').bind('contextmenu', function(e){
    return false;
}); 

See this working example!

With the lastest jQuery:

$('body').on('contextmenu', 'img', function(e){ return false; });

Note: You should use something narrower than body if possible!

Or without jQuery, applying on canvas:

canvas.oncontextmenu = function(e) { e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); }

EDITED

Updated the Fiddle Example to show the contextmenu being limited to the canvas and not the image.

JQUERY

$('body').on('contextmenu', '#myCanvas', function(e){ return false; });

HTML EXAMPLE

  Your browser does not support the canvas element.
