How to add a custom right-click menu to a webpage?

by

Answering your question – use contextmenu event, like below:

if (document.addEventListener) {
  document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
    alert("You've tried to open context menu"); //here you draw your own menu
    e.preventDefault();
  }, false);
} else {
  document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function() {
    alert("You've tried to open context menu");
    window.event.returnValue = false;
  });
}
<body>
  Lorem ipsum...
</body>

But you should ask yourself, do you really want to overwrite default right-click behavior – it depends on application that you’re developing.
