Right click

Hello,

I saw a site once where when you "right click" on a page, a message box pop's up saying something like "Invalid selection". IE. you cannot access the menu with "save background, set as wallpaper, copy" etc etc.

Anyone know how I can do this??

Thanks,
T

Take a look at this...

sigh...

Please don't waste your valuable time trying to do this. If I want something that is on a web page, I can get it. Period. There is NOTHING that can be done to stop me. That includes images, text, js files, cookies, and applets. I wish that web page developers would just start getting at peace with this and stop trying to come up with these stupid methods to try to stop it. It can't be stopped. Even if you disable the right mouse button, that just makes me more determined and I will just go to my TemporaryInternetFiles folder and get what I want from there.

God we need a FAQ...

Jeez, Monte96,

You certainly feel strongly about this dont you!!?? Come on man, give me a break - as a newbie I'm surely allowed to experiment a bit, besides NOT ALL Internet users are as clued up as YOU and can ........ "If I want something that is on a web page, I can get it......"

Thanks eer3,
I'll check out that link.

turfbult any idiot can click "View -> Source" and there is a saying I belive in "evey lock, has a key".

Sorry, Turf.. didn't mean to go off on a rant on ya.. but yea, I feel pretty strong about it. I hate any website that disables the normal navigation. Because I don't just use right click for stealing images. I use it to go back instead of moving the cursor to the top of the page. (Depending on the system I'm using my res is 1280x1024 or 2048x1536 so it's much more convenient to right click and choose back than to move up to the top navigation bar.)

Hey Monte96,

No problem man. I thought a lot about this "right click thing" over the weekend and I agree.......... no use wasteing time trying to work around it.

Cheers,

WOW! The penny dropped at last! :D :D :D

Simple JavaScript (uck I know I know, VB forum, but I can't figure out how to get the right mouse button in VBscript.

<script blablabla>
function right(e) {
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
(event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {
alert("AHHH!");
return false;
}
return true;
}
//Then, to call it,
document.onmousedown=right
</script>

Paradox Read the whole thread and you'll see that that is useless.

What bugs me is when you right click a page and it says something like "Don't steal my images.", when the page "author" just scanned copyrighted pictures out of a book or magazine.
