JS: How to prevent the average click processing from default?

Question

This seems like a ridiculous easy problem, but it seems to be more complicated ...

I want to prevent the default processing of the middle click . I have created and introduced JSFiddle stopPropagation, stopImmediatePropagation, preventDefaultand return false- like so:

$(document).on("mousedown", "a", function(e)
{    
    console.log("\nprevent mousedown...");
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    e.preventDefault();
    console.log("...mousedown prevented");
    return false;
});

But the middle click starts. BTW he is fired when I release the middle button. Here's JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Gq4p9/4/

Tested on Chrome 29, Firefox 23 and IE11.

I hope one of you finds out why this script does not prevent default processing.

:

$( document ).on( 'anyclick', function( e ){
    if( e.which === 2 ){
        e.preventDefault();
    }
    else {
        // Other conditions you may be looking for...
    }
} );
