If you want camera-drag with right-click, ideally you'd just hide the mouse (and capture it so it can't leave the bounds of the view). That's normally what games do when they have right-click dragging in the fashion you describe.

That said, I have no idea if JavaScript can capture the mouse like that.

It can! For a capture that lasts until the mouse button is released:

Or for a capture that works even if the mouse button is not pressed, and remains until the Esc key is pressed:

The first option would be the one to use for right button dragging.
