All of the questions I've seen on how to detect a middle mouse click in JavaScript are related to jQuery, but I'm wondering how I can detect middle mouse button clicks with regular JavaScript. I tried using `onClick()`, but it only appears to work for the left mouse button.

Is there a JavaScript function that can detect both left and middle mouse button clicks or, if not, that can detect middle mouse button clicks?

The reason I ask is that I want to make a function call when links are clicked, irregardless of whether the left or middle mouse button was used.
