[RESOLVED] howto: Hide pop-up menu

[ComputerJy]

I was just wondering. some sites disable the right-click popup menu.

How can I do this in my pages?

You need to use a click handler (event listener?) in Javascript.

BUT, first I suggest you read this quote

Web novices often believe that by blocking their visitors use of the right mouse button that they can prevent the theft of their web page content. Nothing could be further from the truth as there are so many ways to bypass the "no right click script" that the only effects that such a script has is to annoy those of your visitors who legitimately use the context menu (as that menu is properly called) in their web navigation.

"Don't worry I'm using it for localhost".

I've noticed something strange:
If I remove the semi-colon ';'
Right click is disabled in IE and allowed in FF
else
Right click is disabled for both

Yup. IE uses JScript, Firefox uses Javascript. Both are very similar but in JScript semi-colons are optional. Statement endings are "inferred". In Javascript semicolons are not optional. So that's the difference.

But a good programming is to always add it, just like with indentation even if that is not required either...
