Javascript确认对话框和中/右键单击

Question

I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC 3 project, and I want to display a confirmation message before deletion, I've wrote the following line:

@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.ID }, new { onclick = "return confirm('Are you sure?')" })

Which is ok and works fine, however when I click middle button on the mouse or right click then choose 'Open Link in New Tab', the record will be deleted without displaying the confirm dialog which is weird!

I have tried the upper code with onMouseDown , the dialog displays but no action is happening when I click on OK button! (the record wont be deleted)

My question is how can I display a confirmation message before I delete a record and that link will only respond to left mouse click?

You should check mouse key on 'onclick' event and then return false if key is left. See useful example: Issue with onClick() and middle button on mouse
