I'm going to have to add a line of credit to my site just to cover you Velocd. I don't go looking for your hacks specifically, but it seems you're often behind the ones I end up on when I have a focused need. Great work, again.

Now that I've blown a little sunshine, I have a "clueless" question to ask. I need to figure out some method of allowing users to make text in their post 'secure'. 'Secure' in the sense that other users can't just highlight, right click, copy, and then paste elsewhere. I know nothing is entirely safe (they could simply just View Source), but the primary goal is to prevent someone from absentmindedly cutting and pasting something sensitive into an email to someone else. I could just do it for all my pages, but in many cases the content my site covers needs to be able to be copied and pasted into other posts, so that's no good. Needs to be only there when people want it so.

I've found JavaScript that can accomplish this (I'll quote below in case this is a bad way to do it (it did come from someone named Bart with an AOL account after all), and someone can recommend better -- or in case I haven't expressed my desire well enough), but no PHP. PHP *seems* to be what your hack speaks to though. So my question, and it's coming from a layman to be sure, is can I accomplish what I want with your hack?

alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
