Delete a div with the right mouseclick (block contextmenu)

i have a problem with the right-click-contextmenu

i try to delete a div

$(".global_class").live('mousedown', function(e)
{
    if( (e.which == 3) ) 
    {
       // $('#'+this.id+'').remove();
       del_function(this.id);
    }
    e.preventDefault();
}).live('contextmenu', function(e){  e.preventDefault(); });

This code works but the problem is the $('#'+this.id+'').remove();

jquery removes the div and the live $(".global_class").live('mousedown', function(e) didn't start (result -> the context menu will not be blocked).

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance!

When you remove the elements that are involved in an event, results in terms of bubbling and defaults and such get a bit squirrelly (even without jQuery's live being involved). You could do this:

$(".global_class").live('mousedown', function(e)
{
    var id = this.id;

    if( (e.which == 3) ) 
    {
       setTimeout(function() {
            del_function(id);
       }, 0);
    }
    e.preventDefault();
}).live('contextmenu', function(e){  e.preventDefault(); });

...so that you remove the div immediately after the event finishes, rather than during the event.

Off-topic, but you can't cancel the contextmenu event on all browsers (Opera comes to mind), which you may want to factor into your UI decisions...
