Disable Right click and Image copy options

webzedge · 03-05-2009, 01:56 PM

I am sure everyone knows that with windows all you need to do if you want to copy an image where keyboard and mouse options are blocked; is to hit Alt+PrtScn; then open MSPaint and click paste. If you did not know that; now you do. Disabling the right click using Javascript is easily bypassed but if you want to keep the honest person honest and disable the right click and keyboard options place the follow code in your body tag:
<body oncontextmenu="return false;">

Nice post. I will have to try that out. I have seen some sites that have the image behind some sort of screen though so that if you print screen, you get a black box. That is much more advanced than my skills though.

Get around the black box by using tools-internet options-settings-view files; this also works for blocked mpeg's and flash movies but you didn't hear it from me....

That's brilliant. I've always used MSPaint to get around disabled right clicks. I learned that by myself when I was younger. I never bothered disabling right clicks simply because I knew many more people figured out the Paint trick than just me. Now I know there are ways to disable a print screen. I had no idea. Thanks for the tip!

Does this do any harm if you are wanting your images to be crawled so they are added to google images etc?
