disable text copy

[mp3hardplay]

Is there a way to unable visitors from copying text from web pages, let's call it a sort of protection.

i have one of the boards that is visible to visitors but i don't want them to copy the text or at least i want to make their life difficult

I've seen it on many sites, is it possible with proboards ?, and if it is, does such a code exist ?

Thanks, ciao4now

you could try this right button click disable, (throw in global header). But it wont disable to menu bar option

<script language="JavaScript">

var message = "Sorry, that function is disabled.\n\n";
message += "If you would like a copy of the Images, ";
message += "Contact the webmaster";

function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;

</script>

That gets people very annoyed at times though, they just might want to copy some stuff from your website, credit your website and post it on a forum!

Secondly, by viewing the source of the page, you can always copy the text.
