This may be what you are after?
<!-- Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
<!-- Begin
function right(e) {
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' &&
(e.which == 3 || e.which == 2))
return false;
else if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
(event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {
alert("Bugga off and stop right clicking!!!");
return false;
}
return true;
}
document.onmousedown=right;
document.onmouseup=right;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);
window.onmousedown=right;
window.onmouseup=right;
// End -->
</script>
or possibly this:-
<script>
<!--
function right(e) {
if (document.layers && (e.which==3 || e.which==2)) {
window.status="NO RIGHT CLICK ALLOWED!"
return false;
}
else if (document.all && (event.button==2 || event.button==3)) {
window.status="STILL RIGHT CLICKING HUH? CUT IT OUT!"
openclosewindow()
return false;
}
}
function openclosewindow() {
var windownews=window.open
("", "", "status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrol
lbars=no,width=50,height=50,top=20000,left=200");
windownews.close()
}
if (document.all) {
document.onmouseup=right;
window.onmouseup=right;
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=right;
}
//-->
</script>
One main problem with using this type of script is it is very anoying
to visitors. They may be trying to save some highlighted text to word
file for reading later or anything at all.
Basically it just p-sses them off and they wont come back and you can
bet they will tell everyone they know not to go they.
As for using it to protect your intellectual property, it is a waste of
time and effort. Simply viewing your source code and saving the text
file with the complete page in it will do the trick.
Now you can encode your source by downloading the script from many
script sites,if your that worried about someone else using your info,
but once again a pain in the butt!
You have to uncode your code to edit it blah blah and blah. If you were
trying to protect images well that is pointless too, visitors can save
the page with the images or find where YOU are referencing them from
and reference them from there as well and use your valuable band width!
(That is annoying at best as simply moving the images now again fixes
that or renaming them.
In Short
Dont use it! If you want to keep your valuable visitors comming back!
Use it! If you want to lose visitors and give little anoyance to
experienced Masters.
Good Luck and Cheers
