Need to perform the action of a left click when right mouse button is clicked(Jquery)

Question

Does anyone know the jquery code to perform the action of a left click button when right mouse button is clicked

For Example: Say I right click on a link , instead of opening a pop up window I need it to go the link's destination . In other wants I need the right click to do the action of a mouse left click .

Tried searching the web , but was of no use . Hence posting this as my last option .

Would really appreciate any help .

Thanks in advance .

This seems like a bad UI design. Right click is supposed to bring up a menu of actions to perform on the link, you're taking away the user's ability to choose preferred behavior, such as opening the link in a new tab. — Barmar, Nov 19 '12 at 06:13

Try

$('a').on('contextmenu', function(e){
    window.location = this.href;
    return false;
});

Nope . When I click on the right button I need it to go to the destination directly . Just like how left button click would do – jat Nov 19 '12 at 05:43
@jat it does, stackoveflow just removes itself from frames, try http://jsfiddle.net/mowglisanu/9AeEd/1/ – Musa Nov 19 '12 at 05:45

No errors. When I do the right click I just get the popup menu :( – jat Nov 19 '12 at 06:22
@jat what browser did you use? – Musa Nov 19 '12 at 06:33

$('#element').mousedown(function(event) {
    if (event.which==3) {
        $('#element').trigger('click');
         break;
       }
});
