Right click prevention in Netscape 7

[Someone]

I know many don't like having right click disabled, however this is a
unique case where clients using viewing this particular site will not
be world wide so it's not going to affect too many people.

I have searched google archive for this newsgroup for a solution but
similar posts never received answers.

I have a script that disables right mouse button that works in IE and
older versions of NS but it doesn't work in NS7. Can anyone please
point me to a script that works for NS7.

Thanks.

Why limit your google searches to this newsgroup... I found several that
worked (well, sort of worked) on my NN 7.1 on the first page of hits:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=Google+Search

Just a note, maybe my machine's too slow to implement javascript
quickly, but with my 1 GHz win 98 machine, when I right click on a page
using one of these scripts... the javascript alert message informing me
that right clicking has been disabled does come up... but AFTER the
right button context menu has already appeared, so at least on my
computer these scripts are meaningless, I copy stuff using right click
whenever I want, even when these scripts are in use.

Sure, the only reason I can fathom why this event is available to a script
at all is so that extra functionality may be provided enhancing the content
in the current context that the default behaviour doesn't. In a few rare not
to say unique cases this may be disabling all functionality, such as for
demonstration sites, sites for young children, the elderly or otherwise
easily confused. All others will only be offended. Sites that aspire a
anonymous audience but offer nothing in return (but perhaps a message in an
alert) when a user expects to cash in on the promise, are by definition
written by people who do not think. You invite guests to your house, make
them feel comfortable, light the fire for them, put up their preferred
music, and deny them a drink.
however this is a unique case
?

Ah, something like an intranet. Not unique.

Ignorance on the user's side is your only weapon in the anti-rightclick war.
In addition to users being able to drag images to desktops or straight into
their favourite image editors, take screenshots, view sources from their
Alt+F menu (or F10, a lesser known key but quite handy sometimes) or browse
their harddisk to retrieve your files, whatever it is that you wish to deny
your users, these and similar bookmarklets (client-side-*added* scripts,
start at www.bookmarklets.com) nullify any script you have or may be pointed
to:

Enable rightclick: // here and now
javascript:for( i=(f=document.f rames).length;i--;)with(f[i]){document.onmo use
down='return true';document. oncontextmenu=' return
true';document. onmouseup='retu rn true';document. body.onmousedow n='return
true';document. body.oncontextm enu='return
true';document. body.onmouseup= 'return true';}

Strip all script: // involves reload
javascript:for( i=(f=document.f rames).length;i--;)with(f[i]){onerror=funct ion
(){return
true};while((es =document.getEl ementsByTagName ('script')).len gth){es[0].paren
tNode.removeChi ld(es[0]);}es=document. all;for(i=0;i<e s.length;++i){e =es[i];f
or(p in
e){if(!p.indexO f('on')&&e[p]){e[p]=null;}}}docume nt.write(docume nt.documentE
lement.outerHTM L);document.clo se();onerror=fu nction(){return true};}void 0;
Thanks.

You 're welcome,

Your justifications are pretty weak. You provide no explanations for
disabling context menus. I'd say you're even contradicting yourself. You
say that a majority of people dislike right-click being disabled,
nevertheless you're going to go ahead with it anyway.

You have not searched a lot or you have not searched well. This is a
frequent question in this newsgroup.

As with IE you should use an oncontextmenu event handler e.g.
<img src="kiboInside .gif"
alt="Kibo inside"
oncontextmenu=" return false;">

Yesterday, Mozilla.org honored a long time enhancement request so that
scripts no longer can disable right-click context menu, if that is the
user's wish.
