[Tip] JavaScript: How to do a Ctrl-Click

You may want to make a link (or some other element) work when you hold down the Ctrl key before clicking the link.

This is possible in modern browsers and is done as follows:

document.onmousedown = clickElement;
function clickElement(e) {
var ctrlPressed = 0;
var evt = (navigator.appName=="Netscape") ? e : event;
ctrlPressed = evt.ctrlKey;
if (ctrlPressed) {
// Place code to run when Ctrl-Click done
}
return true;
}

Take note the above code works on the whole page and I have tested this on all top browsers:
IE 7, Firefox 3, Chrome, Safari and Opera 9.

Hope it helps someone.
