[Javascript] right click base popup

Keep in mind that this doesn't work in Netscape (at least in 4.x; don't
know about 6.)

If you want to get rid of the context menu, try this:

<body onContextMenu="return false">

Then you can use events like onClick, onMouseDown, onMouseUp to call your
own functions (to open a popup, a div or whatever you need to).

If you need the context menu in some cases, try:

<body onContextMenu="return event.ctrlKey">

then you will have the context menu only if you have ctrl key pressed (this
might be useful sometime).

 when you right click on on window or an image or somethin you 've got a
 default popup with
 'open in new window' etc etc...
 So, I would really like to get rid of this because I need the right click
 to do something.
 I tried to catch the onmouseup event but it seems that it doesn't care at
 all.
 Please HEEEEELP !!   ;-))
