<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL NO RIGHT CLICK:

1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
2. Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
<!-- Original: Martin Webb (martin@irt.org) -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
function right(e) {
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' &&
(e.which == 3 || e.which == 2))
return false;
else if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
(event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {
alert("Sorry, you do not have permission to right click.");
return false;
}
return true;
}

document.onmousedown=right;
document.onmouseup=right;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);
window.onmousedown=right;
window.onmouseup=right;
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>

<!-- STEP TWO: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

<BODY>

<center>[ Try right-clicking the image and then the text link below ]

The best way to prevent clicks would be:
<body onload="self.close()">
That'll have the same exact effect on your board's users as if the clicks are simply disabled ;)

Cheers Psionic

Where exactly would this be placed?

That would be placed in all templates that have a <body> tag, instead of the one they currently have.

Sounds like a bit of work involved then :(
Thought it might have just been 1 edit, although....

My forum is situated inside my portal, so in effect couldnt i just do this to the portal and the others would be effected because of this?

Of course, someone who really wants your code can get around a javascript but for the average Joe this should work just fine.

If you didnt already get it, Psionic Vision was being sarcastic. Preventing the right click menu is the worst behaviour you could possibly add to your site, and youll find any tech-saavy users will immediatly be turned off your site.

There are ways around such "restrictions". You wont be stopping anyone from stealing your content.

What is your purpose for disabling right-click? As merk mentioned it is rather useless if you're trying to prevent people from accessing your content. Is it for a different reason?

NB This can be easily circumvented by disabling Javascript.

This kind of thing is pretty much totally useless. Those who do want to steal stuff can probably bypass it easily, and those that don't will often be those frustrated by it. And how can it be circumvented? Easily:

1. Turn off Javascript

2. Use NoScript or another such add on

3. Use another addon to remove the code from the source of the page

4. Use a browser which doesn't support javascript

5. View source, find image, copy into address bar

6. Use Firefox (option to disable any interference with the context menu)

7. Keyboard shortcuts

8. Use Firefox or said browser to drag the image into the address bar, which opens it in a new tab or the like.

9. Print screen

Basically, it's USELESS as any attempted form of security. Why? Because there are about three billion ways to bypass it, anyone who really wants the files will get them anyway, and it ruins a lot of good functions for those trying to use your forum for normal posting.

Finally, I never understood what's with all the long scripts for this thing, since they basically all do the same thing, and a two line piece of code likely can do the exact same function...
