        if(event.button == 2) {
            var oncontextmenu = document.oncontextmenu;
            document.oncontextmenu = function(){return false;};
            setTimeout(function(){document.oncontextmenu = oncontextmenu;},300);
            func(event);
            return false;
        }
    });
};

$('.item').rightclick(function(e){ 
    alert("item");
});
