Take a look at this: Javascript - event properties. Value for right mouse button is 2, although also note that it recommends using mousedown or mouseup events rather than click.

Here is a sample from the page showing right click detection:

function doSomething(e) {

    var rightclick;

    if (!e) var e = window.event;

    if (e.which) rightclick = (e.which == 3);

    else if (e.button) rightclick = (e.button == 2);

    alert('Rightclick: ' + rightclick); // true or false

}
