How to disable right click menu in html?

Question

How can I disable the right click menu in html?

Please don't say its unprofessional, I am developing a public touch screen display for a museum.

I have already disabled text selection but if you touch and hold it brings the right click menu- very unprofessional :D

Thanks in advance.

Let me try this one: google > "javascript disable right click" > choose one out of hundred thousands of results? :) — Mjh, Jan 27 '17 at 16:09
`It does not work` is the worst kind of answer you can give anyone. "Hello doctor, it hurts" - that's how useful it is. — Mjh, Jan 27 '17 at 16:11
What's the operating system on the device that you are trying to disable. Perhaps your title 'disable right-click' should be changed. — Moses Davidowitz, Jan 27 '17 at 16:11
You tried to search for it but couldn't find anything? I don't believe that for a second. — DavidG, Jan 27 '17 at 16:12
If you're worried about professionality I'd consider making a native app for the touch device instead — Rory McCrossan, Jan 27 '17 at 16:14

@DavidG I dint say that. I said it did not work. The answer below works fine. — Abdullah Seba, Jan 27 '17 at 16:16
The answer below is on almost every link if you search for it on Google though. — DavidG, Jan 27 '17 at 16:17
@RoryMcCrossan A good idea, but I don't have any experience in app development. And C# has an internet explorer class which I use for a custom browser. — Abdullah Seba, Jan 27 '17 at 16:19
@RoryMcCrossan possably I made a dogy copy and paste then. Anyway it works now. — Abdullah Seba, Jan 27 '17 at 16:21

Assuming this for a web app...

I also had to do this and used Javascript

 document.addEventListener("contextmenu", function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }, false);

Should do the trick Thanks
