Disable Right Click
I want to use a script to disable right click functionality on images but wanted to know if anyone knew of one and if so where would I drop that code at? On a form? Thanks for your help.

Browsers can choose to ignore such restrictions. In other words: it doesn’t work.

Re: Disable Right Click
You can try and stretch a transparent 1×1px gif all across underlying images. But even this won’t keep people from making screenshots.

Make a flash movie or print a book! All others will not work.

Do you mean put an image of 1 by 1 px over background images?

Re: Disable Right Click
In firefox: extra -> page info -> tab: media -> select image -> save as
If a browser is allowed to get/show the image, the user can always find a way to save it.

Exactly. This won’t of course turn off the right click menu, but it’s the transparent gif that is saved then.

Re: Disable Right Click
With jQuery you can do:
// disable right-click on images (but not on anything else)
$(document).ready(function(){
$('img').bind('contextmenu', function(e){
return false;
});
});But it’s really only good for slowing down the ignorant (of both browsers and copyright).

Yeah, but then you can just pull the image URL out of the source code – I’ve just tested it on a friend’s “professional” Flickr account, which uses the transparent gif “security” feature.

Re: Disable Right Click
Of course you can! You can be real evil!
Mary said it all: “Slowing down the ignorant”. And that’s what it should do.

});So I downloaded jQuery and uploaded to the FTP.
But what else do I need to get this script to work? I added it like this in the <head> section
<script type=“text/javascript” src=“http://www.shattuckart/js/jquery.js”></script>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
// disable right-click on images (but not on anything else)
$(document).ready(function(){
$(‘img’).bind(‘contextmenu’, function(e){
return false;
});
});
</script>
But it still doesn’t work
