meta tag disables the right click

[spookie]

Hi,

I was studying a code which has following tag in header

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

and the right click on that page was dsiabled. I wanted to enable it. After trying for some time i commented the above line and the right starts working. Can anyone explain what the above line does exactly and how wheather it disables the right click and how?

Thanks

Hi

The only thing I can think to, is that the JavaScript file which disabled the right click contains some UTF-8 text. When you commented out the [tt]meta[/tt] tag the browser get confused about the encoding and the JavaScript interpreter failed to execute the code.

Or you could show us the page so we can end the superstitions and guesses...

Thanks for the input feherke.

That may be the case, but i will have to check on that. I can't post the entire code here as the file references (includes) many library files..

Hi

Usually the disabling code is not obfuscated because they think nobody will see it. So try to search all sources for "[tt]oncontextmenu[/tt]". Or more generically, you could search for "[tt]return false[/tt]" as one of them should be in the disabling code.
