It looks like in Firefox, click event handlers only fire for left click.

In IE7, click events fire for left click or middle click.  However, anchor tags
seem to be a special case where if there's a href, the href is opened in a new
tab.  Otherwise, the click event handler runs.

As far as I can tell, it seems like the click event should fire for middle
clicks, but the spec seems ambiguous:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html#event-click

Here's a good test case:

Also, this is what causes middle clicking a link in Gmail to open in a new
window rather than as a background tab in Safari.
