Restricting the user copying the Page Text

We can restrict users copying the text in our page by using a simple Jscript code.

<script language="JavaScript">

document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false");

</script>

One another way of restricting the users block copying the text is by disabling the right click on the webpage.

The following script is taken from a Microsoft KB article Q286426 and it only works with IE.

<script language="JavaScript">

var message = "Sorry, that function is disabled.\n\n";

message += "This page is copyrighted, and ";

message += "all content is protected.";

function click(e) {

if (document.all) {

if (event.button == 2) {

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;
