To enable middle-mouse clicks on an iframe, you can use JavaScript to add an event listener to the iframe element. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to enable middle-mouse clicks on an iframe:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
// Get the iframe element
var iframe = document.getElementById('myIframe');

// Add an event listener to the iframe element
iframe.addEventListener('mousedown', function(event) {
  // Check if middle mouse button is clicked
  if (event.button === 1) {
    // Perform your desired action here
    console.log('Middle mouse button clicked!');
  }
});


In this code snippet, we are adding a mousedown event listener to the iframe element. Inside the event listener function, we check if the button clicked is the middle mouse button (which has a button value of 1). If it is, we can perform our desired action, such as logging a message to the console.


You can customize this code snippet to fit your specific needs and functionalities.
