Body tag to disable right click

There is a onload event you can put in the body tag that will disable the right click option. I had it the other day, but accidently deleted it. It was something like

< body onload = ???????() = false;>

I think the event was something like config something.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

Sqoti,
Here is some Javascript that does something like you ask. FAR from foolproof however! :)
----------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<SCRIPT language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
var message=&quot;The right-click has been disabled on this page!&quot;;
function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button==2||event.button==3) {
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;
// -->
</SCRIPT>
Try clicking the right mouse button (works in IE5.x Dunno about other versions or NS)
</body>
</html>

sqoti,
if you would perform advansed search here on your subject you would get a lot of different interpretations of this script:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
if(document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.mousedown);

function nocontextmenu(){
event.cancelBubble=true
event.returnValue=false;
return false;}

function norightclick(e){
if(document.layers){
if(e.which==2||e.which==3)
return false;}
else
if(event.button==2||event.button==3){
event.cancelBubble=true
event.returnValue=false;
return false;}
}
document.oncontextmenu=nocontextmenu;
document.onmousedown=norightclick;
</script>

so, i think it is really good at doing its job :) Victor

Thanks for all your replys, but the body tag did the trick. Why would I want to do an advance search when I knew there was an easier way to do this? Tek-Tips is awesome. You guys Rock!!!!

It is impossible to make it so no one can see your source code, unless ofcourse you make it, take a screen shot, create into one BIG image. No one could do it then :)

Most JS and HTML snipplets to prevent right clicking work in one browser only. However, you can ALWAYS view the source codes if you open your temp internet folder :) Just an FYI
