I have a JavaScript that will disable the Right Click on a web page:
============================================================
<title>Out Today</title>
</head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!-- start hide

document.onmousedown = click;

if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);

function click(e)
{
if (document.all)
if (event.button == 2)
{
document.write(&quot;&quot;); // need to do this to &quot;fool&quot; IE
return false;
}
if (document.layers)
if (e.which == 3)
{
return false;
}
}

// end hide -->
</SCRIPT>

<body bgcolor=&quot;#C0C0C0&quot;>
=======================================================
The problem I'm having is that when a user Right Clicks on the page the Title of the web page changes to the URL of the web page. How or what could be added to prevent this or make the Title reflect something like &quot;XX&quot; ?

Thanks

It does that because of your document.write(&quot;&quot;) statement. I'm not sure what that hopes to achieve.

BTW: Do you realise that most keyboards now come with a context menu key... meaning that overriding the mouse click won't prevent the context menu from showing?

Nospace52,

Did you try to run you source code in NS 6 or 7?

Check out this thread: thread216-806533

It has an idea about stopping the context menu, even if invoked with the keyboard.

I haven't tried it, however, so no idea if it works in all browsers or not.

For IE only it's much better to use oncontextmenu event (Shift-F10, right mouse click).

I still don't see why you would want to annoy your users in such a fashion.
