How to disable the default context menu appears on right click of mouse?

For this i am catching mousedown event like-
$(.mydiv).mousedown(function (event) {
switch (event.which) {
case 1:alert("left click ");
break;
case 2:alert("right click ");
break;
case 3:
event.preventDefault();
$(this).trigger('click');
break;
default:
alert("strange mouse");
}
});
by doing this it works fine, but i don't want to show alert on mouse click(this is happening becoz of ($(this.trigger('click')) so if i remove this alert then again it is showing the default context menu.

in your html:

HTML

<body oncontextmenu="return false;">
</body>

if you're using jquery:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(document).bind("contextmenu",function(e){
        return false;
    });
});
