How to block right-click functions on my website?



On some websites, if you try to right-click to copy a picture (or for any other reason), you can not. That function is mysteriously blocked and instead a warning message is generated, e.g. "Do not steal our photos, contact us for the rights".

I have a small photography business georgiadis.googlepages.com
and would like to implement that restriction for my page. Do you know how? Oh, and I don't want to use flash, if possible.

Also, is there an easy way to get around a right click block?

Couple of things...

A good anti-right click script can be found here: http://javascript.internet.com/page-deta...
That'll probably work for most of what you want to do.

But, as the other answerer mentioned, there are many easy ways around this limitation. You could take a screenshot of the web page (and then crop to the image) or you could turn off javascript in your browser. The truth is, if you are putting something online, you lose absolute control over it.

Some things you could do are copyright the images (in Photoshop you can add a digital watermark that sticks with the image through cropping, screenshots, etc). Also, depending on the application, do not use the highest quality setting for compressing your images.

Ultimately, though, there are ways around all of it. By copyrighting them, you at least own the work. If I steal it to use on a birthday card, you'll probably never know (or care, right?). If Google uses it to advertise something without giving you credit (and money :) you can request a royalty payment. The reason you are putting the images online is to get noticed, so take it as that and try not to be as concerned with people "stealing your work." I think you still come out ahead...

Good luck! Source(s): http://javascript.internet.com/page-deta...
well for the second part of your question yes you can get around it. all you have to do is make a screen shot on a mac you hit apple+shift+4 and highlight the picture but on a PC you have to take a full screen shot and then crop it also try making your page on http://www.spruz.com it's free and it's awsome mine is http://computerhelp.spruz.com
You should be able to enter HTML or Javascript into your site. Where there is a section to enter it, copy and paste this:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
var message = "function disabled";
function rtclickcheck(keyp){ if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && keyp.which == 3){ alert(message); return false; }
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(... != -1 && event.button == 2) { alert(message); return false; } }
document.onmousedown = rtclickcheck;
</SCRIPT>

It is possible to bypass it. Try clicking then holding with your left mouse button. Then click and hold your right mouse button so you're holding down both buttons. Next, let go of the left one then let go of the right one.
There's no way to stop them. The best method is water marking your images.

However, there are tons of javascripts that disable right click
