If you need an special context-menu to your form fields, you can use this JQuery plugin:

http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/lib/contextmenu/index.php

Used like this:

var menu1 = [
      {
        'Option 1': function(menuItem,menu) { alert("You clicked Option 1!"); } 
      },
      {
        'Option 2': function(menuItem,menu) { alert("You clicked Option 2!"); } 
      }
];
$(function() {
  $('#myform:input').contextMenu(menu1,{theme:'vista'});
});

So, when the user click on any input fields of your form with id 'myform', the personal context menu will be displayed.

document.oncontextmenu = function(e) {
  var el = window.event.srcElement || e.target;
  var tp = el.tagName || '';
  if ( tp.toLowerCase() == 'input' || tp.toLowerCase() == 'select' || tp.toLowerCase() == 'textarea' ){
    return false;
  }
};

Probably a bad idea (annoys users because it goes against user accepted standard behavior) but you can do it in jQuery like this:

$(function() {
     $(this).bind("contextmenu", function(e) {
         e.preventDefault();
     });
});

Can't be done - not reliably and cross-browser (FF, IE, Chrome, Opera) anyway.

There are browser-specific hacks which work in IE and FF, but there's a deeper problem: what are you trying to achieve? Limiting the user experience like this gains you nothing (they already have your precious code, else they wouldn't see the page), and annoys the users.
