    Does anybody know how to set up a copy disabling for a website visitors.
    The visitor of the website can not copy the site content by using copy and paste (the mouse and appropriate keyboard function can not be used on the particular website, they do not function).
    I have seen such a site.

    Thank you

    anything that can viewed in your browser is copyable... you can disable mouse functions and keyboard functions but that will not stop the savy... show me the site you thought was not copyable, I will post what I was able to rip from it ;)

    Use the script below so when someone right clicks to save an image off your page, a message will come up letting people know that your information is copyrighted.Copy and paste the following code, and make sure it comes right after your <HEAD> tag:

    
<script language="JavaScript"> 
// distributed by http://hypergurl.com <!-- var popup="Sorry, right-click 
is disabled.\n\nThis Site Copyright ©2000"; function noway(go) { if 
(document.all) { if (event.button == 2) { alert(popup); return false; } } if (document.layers) 
{ if (go.which == 3) { alert(popup); return false; } } } if (document.layers) 
{ document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN); } document.onmousedown=noway; // --> 
</script>
    Code (markup):

    You can go round such scripts easily. Just use browser's view source. Don't rely on this.

    No you haven't; it's not possible. The hokey toy scripts people use for this purpose only keep out the most ignorant n00bs running Internet Explorer.

    You wouldn't be able to prevent this. Why would you even want to do this?
