How to disable right-click in Javascript?

How do I disable the right click? Or rather, disable the context menu.
And on that note, how do I detect right mouse up/down?

This is not to prevent people from taking content or whatever. I'm making a game and I'd like to be able to feature the right click too.

note that some browsers will not let you do this, or let you THINK you've done it and still allow the context menu to appear. (e.g. Firefox). — Marc B, Jan 11 '13 at 04:31

window.oncontextmenu = function() {return false;}

However, some browsers prevent disabling and changing the context menu, so it's not reliable.

      function clickIE() {

      function clickNS(e) {
