title: jQuery: preventDefault() not working on input/click events?
body: <p>I want to disable the default contextMenu when a user right-clicks on an input field so that I can show a custom contextMenu.  Generally speaking, its pretty easy to disable the right-click menu by doing something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$([whatever]).bind("click", function(e) { e.preventDefault(); });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And in fact, I can do this on just about every element EXCEPT for input fields in FF - anyone know why or could point me towards some documentation?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the relevant code I am working with, thanks guys.</p>
  
  <p>HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
   var r = new RightClickTool();
  &lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;div id="main"&gt;
    &lt;input type="text" class="listen rightClick" value="0" /&gt;  
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>JS:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function RightClickTool(){
  
  var _this = this;
  var _items = ".rightClick";
  
  $(document).ready(function() { _this.init(); });
  
  this.init = function() {
   _this.setListeners(); 
  }
  
  this.setListeners = function() {
   $(_items).click(function(e) {
    var webKit = !$.browser.msie &amp;&amp; e.button == 0;
    var ie = $.browser.msie &amp;&amp; e.button == 1;
  
    if(webKit||ie)
    { 
  
     // Left mouse...do something()
  
    } else if(e.button == 2) {
     e.preventDefault(); 
  
     // Right mouse...do something else();
    }
  
   });
  }
  
  } // Ends Class
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Sorry, after reading the comments I realize that I should clarify a few things. </p>
  
  <p>1) The code above does work...in a sense.  The code is able to sort through which button was clicked, it just doesn't care that I say e.preventDefault() and the right-click menu still pops up.  In other words, if you put an alert on e.button you would get your 1 or 0 for left and 2 for right...but it just laughs at me and still shows the damned default menu!</p>
  
  <p>2) If I put the jQuery selector on ANY other element (other than input) then everything will work, FF will respect the preventDefault() call and the default right-click menu will not show.</p>
