Disable right click - and source code view

Disable right click - and source code view

am 30.10.2006 14:50:30 von Perth

Disabling the right click and hiding the source code view may be two
entirely separate issues. I Googled disable right click and
encountered three separate blocks of source code, none of which; worked
on my page at http://www.geocities.com/techfiddle//policies.html

I also searched in this group "disable right click" but the entires I
got were very old, probably not effective any longer.

I remember from the past there was very short snippet of code that
worked, but now I can't find it. I don't care so much about hiding the
source code (though that would be cool), as much as protecting my
images.

During the Googling (Ask, actually), there was a software program I
could buy for $40 which accomplishes this:

http://www.antssoft.com/htmlprotector/index.htm

So do I need to buy something or is there html that will accomplish
this?

Thanks!

But they share some things in common:
1. They don't work.
2. They're pointless.
3. They really don't work.

Which browser are you using? Most modern browsers don't allow the page
to disable basic browser functions like right click.

Any techniques you found never were effective. Any advice you found to
stop wanting to do this is still 100% valid.

It didn't work.

Don't put them on the web.

Or hire a lawyer and enforce your copyright by taking legal action
against people you steal your images.

Anyone who buys that has just wasted $4. It does a good job of making
your site inaccessible, but a poor job of protecting source code.

Nothing you buy can do this. Nothing in HTML can do this.

There are various JavaScript tricks that make it fractionally more
difficult for clueless users to steal your images or code. But that's
the best they can do.

Try: rm -rf /home/techfiddle/public_html

That will make your images safe!

You can't do that with HTML. To be honest I personally hate sites that
disable right-click - there are many things I like to do with context menus
that I don't think website owners should be attempting to block.

You might also have to think about Googles cache, of both pages
and images.

Bush is trying to rm -f /bin/laden.

You lost me...what is this?

I'm using Mozilla.

No, I distinctly remember that there was something. That worked. I
was surprised none of the three I tried didn't work.

I would be satisified to block the clueless.

Disable image right-click by capturing oncontextmenu.

Bypass by
- disabling JavaScript temporarily
- using a browser that doesn't support oncontextmenu

Javascript is usually used to add functionality to a site, when
javascript is used to disable functionality, it becomes an annoyance.

Forget about trying to hide your source code. It is a wasted effort.

Protect your images by putting a watermark on them.

You want to hide stuff from the sort that would be unlikely to
steal stuff from you to great effect?

Not having enough knowledge to make this work only proves that the
level of your code sophistication is hardly worth stealing anyway.

make your website in flash, that will hide the code! lol.

Yeah, pretty much the only way, and free advertising too!

Basically the age old thing about pictures, music, and videos. if I
can see it or hear it on my PC, there is a way for me to save it and
takes it for my own.

Not even a little. It is simple to decompile Flash. Any good Flash
developer knows their code is wide open to the world to see.

The script does not capture right clicks, it adds/attaches to the
oncontextmenu. Opera does not support oncontextmenu.

Do what ever you want. Just remember one thing. I have visited your site,
therefor your images are already on my computer. If the image fits entirely
on my screen, then I can simply print screen, save the image and edit as
desired.
Slap your domain name conspicously across the image to protect it from
unauthorized use.
Unless you personally took the image with your own camera, you do not own
rights to that image.

I paid someone to take the image. So I think I own the rights to it.

This block of code may work:




Not sure, about to try it. Which is from:

http://www.sheilascorner.com/sheila.shtml

Sheila's code is a total mystery to me.

That depends on the contract you signed; otherwise it belongs to
the person who took it.

Same here, but it doesn't prevent me fromn downloading any images
from her page.

Traditionally, Mozilla users have tended to be more clueful on the
average than other people on the Internet; however, you have proven
that there are always exceptions.
