Restricting copy?


Question Posted Thursday January 25 2007, 10:26 pm

Okay, so I went to this site [a long time ago] and I was like hmmm this poem is good and I highlighted and was about to click copy but a little pop up came up that said that I couldn't copy it. Does anyone know what program that is and where I cna get it for free?

You can use the code theymos gave you but there really isn't a point.
A lot of people just click control + c and are able to copy it.

I'd have to agree with the person below me--very dirt, very mean.

But I've learned in my experience, with right click prevention, some web sites you can just highlite and click control c [it's the same as copying-just without the right clicking]

That might not be all sights--but it's been all of them I've tried.

Right click prevention is a dirty, mean trick. I discourage you from using it. Here's how you do it, though. Put this between the <head></head> tags in your HTML file:

<script type=text/javascript>
function copy()
{
alert("right clicking is disablednscript by theymos");
return false;
}
</script>

and put this IN the part of the page you want right-click prevented:

oncontextmenu="return copy()"

So if you want the whole page protected, do this to the body tag:

<body oncontextmenu="return copy()">

If you want just a paragraph protected, do this:

<p oncontextmenu="return copy()">protected material</p>

When the part of the page with my oncontextmenu="return copy()" in it is right clicked, a message displaying:

right clicking is disabled
script by theymos

will appear and the right-click menu will not. This method works for sure in firefox, in IE it will work, but IE might prevent the page from doing this and show a warning box at the top; there is no way to prevent this.
