Hi,

I need to disable right mouse button in my application. The main reason for this is I don't what to diplay context menu on right mouse click. I could able to disable the mouse button in IE browser. But I could not able to do the same in Netscape version 4+. Here is my code

window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
window.onmousedown = function(e){
if(e.target==document)return false;
}

This code works fine when you click right mouse button on the document, but if i click right mouse button on links, or other elements on the browser, I could not able to disable the context menu. I appreciate if any one gives a tip.

Thanks,
Gorijavolu.

Hi,

I tried using the script above in my web page to disable the ability to right click and every time I test it and try to right click my browser freezes. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks. s-)

Whenever I visit a site that uses this script I automaticaly leave. It's a waste of time and memory.

Well, if this script is a waste of time and memory, do you have any other suggestions? My problem is that I have a file for users to download and if they right click and save target as... instead of following the link and doing a save as... the file saves as a .doc extension, which it should not be.

For IE you can add
Code: 
oncontextmenu=&quot;return false&quot;
to the <body> tag...

hi!
just found this script, may be of use:
<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
if(window.Event)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);function nocontextmenu()
{event.cancelBubble=true
event.returnValue=false;return false;}function norightclick(e)
{if(window.Event)
{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>

regards, vic

The addition in the body tag worked great! (at least for IE) Thanks!

// NO RIGHT CLICKS
browser_name = navigator.appName;
browser_version = parseFloat (navigator.appVersion);
bname = &quot;Brold&quot;;
if (browser_name == &quot;Netscape&quot;) { bname = &quot;NS&quot;; };
if (browser_name == &quot;Microsoft Internet Explorer&quot;) { bname = &quot;IE&quot;; };
msg = &quot;Sorry, right-clicking is currently unavailable.&quot;;
function RClick (evnt)
{
if (bname == &quot;IE&quot;)
if (event.button == 2)
{
alert (msg);
return false;

Hey, this no right click script should work fine!
- Put this in the <body> tag

------

<style>*{filter:flipv ! important}</style>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
if(window.Event)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);function nocontextmenu()
{event.cancelBubble=true
event.returnValue=false;return false;}function norightclick(e)
{if(window.Event)
{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>
