Disabling Menu Items?

[Alan Little]

It seems to me I saw something about this once, but I can't find anything
about it now. Is it possible to disable menu items, perhaps with a signed
script?

No, it's not possible to disable individual menu options. I'm going to assume
your request is for a private companies Intranet, rather than the public
Internet, because on the public Internet, attempting that level of control
over the user agent is pointless, since I can defeat any attempt you make to
control my user agent.

If you need that level of control over the user agent, and it's an Intranet,
and you're using Internet Explorer, you may want to look into using an HTA.
You could open the HTA in a new window with no default menu and build your
own menuing system using client-side JavaScript.

It depends on which menu you're talking about. If you mean the actual browser
(File, Edit, View, etc), then unless you're doing HTA with MSIE, no, you
can't.
If you mean a menu you're using for navigation, it depends on which one
you're using.
If you mean the context menu that comes up when you right-click, you can make
a new context menu, but users can set their browsers to stop you.
