Disable right click? Disable view source?

Does anyone have the code for disable right click?

and also can you disable view source?

 

Can't be done, and it's silly to try. It's silly to want to try.

cheers,

Since you asked here is a disable right click code

I dont think you can disable view source.

here is another site i found about why you shouldn't disable irght click.

either way, its up to you and no one else can make that decision for you. =)

 

You can disable right click,with javascript, But all the user has to do is turn javascript off and they can right click

e.g. http://dragonballz.com/

 

You can circumvent the lack of a right click menu by holding left mouse button and clicking the right one (most scripts), so it's useless in my opinion. As for disabling the source code, it can't be done. Every mouse button menu has the same options in the browser menu. Further, FireFox as far as I know doesn't follow disabling mouse menu scripts.

You can scramble the source code though using javascript. It'll look like hexcode. But there are unscramblers, so I'd say, why bother.

Anyway, reconsider. Disabling the mouse menu is unfriendly, irritating and unnecessary.

If you want to pursue it anyway: dynamicdrive.com / wsabstract.com - both loaded with scripts.

 

to disable view source you can open your page in a new window without the menubar, using javascript "window.open()" method.

 

Right click is disabled in Safari and IE, but it has no effect on viewing source. Opera and Firefox simply ignore it and pop up the expected right click menu.

It's an ineffective, silly idea, but if it makes you feel good …

For right click with message: nope

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
 var message="nope";
 function click(z) {
  if (document.all) {
   if (event.button == 2) {
    alert(message);
    return false;
   }
  }
  if (document.layers) {
   if (z.which == 3) {
    alert(message);
    return false;
   }
  }
 }
 if (document.layers) {
  document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
 }
 document.onmousedown=click;
// --> 
</script>

Code (markup):

 

@alexa_lucky: Only IE is stupid enough to fall for that attempt. Firefox, Opera and Safari ignore it. That may be because the javascript is very old proprietary stuff. Not at all standard.

Yes, if you are smart enough why dont you show him a better idea ?

 

I already showed him the better idea and he got a case of red-a$$. The idea of disabling right click or trying to hide the source code is silly. Period. Full stop.

ohhhhh no worries guys
i got violations for posting in this thread because some guy called my question silly

 

Good article. I dont understand why people try to disable it...

 

to konrad, I guess so that they can not view source?

 

Ah, to be clear, if the browser can see the source enough to build the page, then the user can also see the source. If you block the source you block the page.

Any no, you've never done anything so new and awesome with these tired HTML tags that is just so mind-blowing that it has to stay a secret so nobody steeeelz. : ) You get 93 tags? See if you can make something unique with those that nobody else has ever done it : )

In worst case, if it's that thooper thecret, it prolly shouldn't be hangin out like a hooker on teh public intarwebz.

 

Elegantly put

Basically, anyone with half a brain can get around any restrictions you can place on them. Also, from a usability point of view, the hit is too big for it to be worth it. Just going to have to accept that people can see your html no matter what

 

No matter what type of javascript or restrictions you place in your code... even if you "encrypt" it it'll still be viewed by someone who wants to view it.

Trust me, there's really nothing that you will have come up with that nobody else has seen before, it's just how you design and code your page that will stand out.

 

Actually Gary I was out looking for this when I came across this post. I have a reason to hide the source ( maybe I am just a jaded person that doesn't trust people BUT )
As a freelancer I have from time to time an opportunity to set up a demo for someone let them see it then have the buy it
However if a smart user just steals all my code and work by doing a view source and copy/past well I get screwed
So as you see there are from time to time a reason to hide the source code

Thanks

i think id send them a video of the site being used in order to prevent them from seeing the source, as opposed to the actual page.... this way they can SEE what it does, they just wont be able to try it until they buy it

 

Ya know that is not a bad idea
