Hi all,

Is it possible to use Prototype to add control-click behaviour to a  
link? What I want is to fire one Ajax request if a user clicks on a  
box, and a different request if they control-click on the same box. I  
know this is possible in some JS frameworks (e.g. Mootools), but  
unfortunately I’m limited to Prototype - does anyone know how to do  
this?

Many thanks,  
Adam
