So I am trying to kill the right-mouse button, Here is the basic code.

if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;

function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert('haaalooo');
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert('haaalooo');
return false;
}
}
}

Okay now this works fine. However I don't want an alert when someone right mouse's on the page Iwant it to set a couple of things in motion. The problem I'm having is when I use don't use an alert, the return false part doesn't work so the menu shows up (actually apparently this only occurs for me in IE).
