Dear experts,

I've come across a web page whereby you are not allowed to copy the text or image there. When you tried to do so, there will be a circle with a slash symbol appear and you can't do the copy and paste thing.

Hope someone out there can advise me how to do this kinda thing. thanks.

Put the following script in the head of your page:

<script language="Javascript1.2">


// Set the message for the alert box
am = "This function is disabled!";

// do not edit below this line
// ===========================
bV  = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
bNS = navigator.appName=="Netscape"
bIE = navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"

function nrc(e) {
   if (bNS && e.which > 1){
      alert(am)
      return false
   } else if (bIE && (event.button >1)) {
     alert(am)
     return false;
   }
}

document.onmousedown = nrc;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
if (bNS && bV<5) window.onmousedown = nrc;

</script>

You can spend your time trying to make people's browsers not allow things, but it won't make a difference, Anyone with half a brain can bypass any prevention method you try.

Chances are it was a disable right click function. Which annoys people. They can still use the toolbar, take screenshots, view the source, use telnet cmd and a million and one other ways to get around it.

I wouldn't really waste any time trying to prevent people stealing it, they'll steal it anyway, and all you're going to do is annoy genuine users.

Just my $0.02

or simply disable scripts.
