Stop Coying of my site

[Guest_imported]

Does anyone know how to stop people copying a websites contents? i.e disable to right hand click on a mouse when they arrive at my site.....

There are loads of no-right-click scripts but they won't stop people from viewing your source (which I assume is what you mean by "copying my site&quot as there are a number of ways to do it apart from right click.

Yes, use server side code instead of client side.

There is no reliable way to prevent someone from stealing your code if you rely primarily on client side scripting. This is true for preventing people from 'stealing' your design as well. Javascript has a lot of handy properties you can use to remove the toolbar, etc, however, if the user has java turned off, it won't make any difference. You Jscript won't do a thing.

Server side is parsed by the server before it's sent to the client so they can only view the result, not the code it takes to achieve the result.

Actually I just need the script to stop the right click, not worried about the source code being copied. Can you direct me somewhere where I can pick this code up.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.1&quot;>

<!-- Begin
function right(e) {
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' &&
(e.which == 3 || e.which == 2))
return false;
else if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
(event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {
alert(&quot;Sorry, you do not have permission to right click.&quot;
return false;
}
return true;
}

document.onmousedown=right;
document.onmouseup=right;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);
window.onmousedown=right;
window.onmouseup=right;
// End -->

Thank you, that's perfect

Instead of just disabling the right click menu, how about putting in your OWN custom naviagtion menu?
