I have alot of popup windoes on my site, I was wondering
if it is possible to disable the CTRL+A and Ctrl+C option in these windows
They have no tollbars or anything, so if I disabled Rightclick And
These CTRL options it would be harder for people to copy the content
But I don't know if it is possible
Anybody??

Well I think not the way it is on my site is a tutor system with diagrams, where a window will pop up on request, but in the popup window there are a menu with links to 72 windows that will open in the SAME popup window, so only one stays open, so it is NOT popups, that is popping up and is being annoying *SS*

One thing you could do is add onselectstart="return false;" to the body tags of your popup windows.

Please bear in mind though that you will find many people become annoyed if their browser stops operating the way they expect it to (no right click, no select, etc.) and the less savvy may think you've done something untoward to their machine. So before going down this route, you'll need to way up the positives (limited protection for your content) with negatives (you're going to lose some return traffic) and decide if it's worth the hassle.

Can't you use Flash or images to get the information in the pop-ups across? That way if someone "borrows" the information and wants to put it on their own site, they'll either have to use your images/Flash movies, or they'll have to re-type it all (assuming you'll password-protect the Flash movies).

Of course I have to think about the pos. and neg.'s but I think not people will find it annoying the way it is on my site, but what exactly does that line do?????.
The options with NORIGHTCLICK and disabling CTRL options should only be in my popup window, the main site window will still be open behind, and in this window the IE functions work as they should, so I dont think it's a problem *S*.
My site is unfortunately not published yet so I can not post a link to it yet.

I have ISS installed and using this as my testserver, What is demanded to let other's see my site on MY computer as a server???,
I am set up with dynamic Ip's, do I need a Static Ip to do this??

And thanks for the respons *S*

The Onselect statement seems to work fine disabling the CTRL functions, next problem is??
Can I also disable the possibility for people to DRAG the content to another window??
The content of my popup's are Single images (not sliced) made in Fireworks.
Also About the Flash thing mentioned by FrutZle, I have plans to make some small flash movies for some more popup's. I will post a link to my site when it's done, but it will be a month or so till that happens *SS*.

Add the following to your body tags as well:

ondrag="return false;"

Anything you publish on the internet, can be copied or taken. If the person really wants to get your content, they will. No matter what you do.

yes I know Davio, and it's not something I will spend alot of time trying to avoid, but with a few simle things I could make it so it wasn't anybody who could do this, but at least only people who has some kind of understanding of computers *S*, but anyways, of course I will have an Copyright sign on these things *S*, that'll do it, legally *S*.
