Hi DYABLO,

.... how do they do that?

Code:


<script language=JavaScript>
<!--

//Disable right click script III- By Renigade (renigade@mediaone.net)
//For full source code, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com

var message="";
///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if 
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers) 
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
// --> 
</script>

....which, apart from being amateurish, is a toal waste of time.

I just disabled javascript in my browser and.......

Edit:

reason for edit typing error.

This thread has an example that brings up an alert box but at the same time it places a div over the content so it isn't highlightable. The content can still be seen through view source. If you really want to stop the highlight stuff then just use one big image for your site. What is your reason for wanting to do this? http://www.htmlforums.com/showthread.php?t=64642

this is the script that disables highlight. it doesn't stop anybody cause all I did was turn off javascript to get by it.

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* Disable select-text script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

//form tags to omit in NS6+:
var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"]

omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|")

function disableselect(e){
if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1)
return false
}

function reEnable(){
return true
}

if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined")
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
else{
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onmouseup=reEnable
}

</script>
