Hi all,

Is there a quick way to disable right mouse click on topics posted so it makes it that little bit harder for people to grab images. I know its very easy to get around, but it just might stop one or two people.

Something like <body oncontextmenu="return false;" but not sure if this is the right thing to do, or what file it is best placed in.

Thanks people,

P.

If you do not want your content taken, you should not post it on the web.

Modern day browsers can even override JavaScript's ability to disable right click. Tools like Firebug/ Web Dev Toolbar make protection useless.

but the javascript you need is


<script language="javascript">
document.onmousedown=disableclick;
status="Right Click Disabled";
Function disableclick(event)
{
  if(event.button==2)
   {
     alert(status);
     return false;    
   }
}
</script>

and

<body oncontextmenu="return false">
...
</body>

There is also a little in-built tool in Windows that allows users to grab images easy, it is called Snipping Tool located at: "%windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe" in Windows 7 and 8.

So disabling the right click for the images will not stop them, even if you could not override the JS...

Cheers,
