JavaScript Troubles

Hi folks,

I am having some issues using a program that protects my web pages (to a
degree) using JavaScript (to print screen/disable clipboard, caching text
selection etc). Below is the code for the page after it has been encrypted
on the local machine:

As you can see, the begginings and endings of the server side code are
different to the code that was uploaded to the server from the local drive.
Anyone any ideas on why this should be the case, and what the extra code
should do?

OK, I can view my pages fine in Firefox and Netscape, also IE 6.0 (and have
had reports to the same effect), but a user using IE 7.1 has reported that
when he views my pages he gets a security warning, saying "Do you want to
allow this website to access your clipboard". I can't figureout why this is
happening, and would like someone kind intelligent and benevolent (lol) to
examine this code to see if there is a problem with it that would cause such
a security concern.

If you are interested in viewing the exact page you will find that at
http://www.futurebydesign-music.com/htmlprot/test.html - the pages on the
rest of the site employ a similar code, and also trigger security alerts for
some reason in IE7.1, but they were not designed to access clipboards, but
to stop people from doing screen captures while on my site.

I have started a thread about this on one of the Microsof Newsgroups, and
have also contacted the makers of the program I am using but have received
no response from either source as yet. This is the URL for the thread on
the Microsof Newsgroup:

Help!!!

The code changes not during the upload, but when accessing the page in
your browser. Disable your McAffee virus protection and it will come
back to normal. McAffee - and some other antivirus programs - shadows
several native window methods by loopholes (bogus functions), so in
case if you have to take extra boring steps to restore the original
references. (In my strong opinion some ears should be cut off for that
idea - and what a hell say window error collector has to do with a
virus protection?)

That is nothing to do with with the "antivirus" vandalism, you must be
using some methods in your original code which are restricted for usage
in IE7.

Any attempt to cripple the facilities of the user's browser represent an
abuse, and all facilities that are employed abusively are likely to be
withdrawn over time. When these facilities are withdrawn or restricted
much that could have been usefully employed will be lost with them (and
lost to everyone). It is best to learn from history and not write or use
abusive scripts.

Browsers provide no mechanism that will prevent the use of the clipboard
by the user. the only technique ever proposed that could make the user's
attempts to use their clipboard non-viable is for the script to be
continuously writing to the clipboard (thus overwriting anything that had
been added by the user. Obviously constantly writing to the clipboard is
accessing the clipboard and will trigger IE security alerts if their
security settings for the significant zone have clipboard access set to
"prompt". Clearly the default setting for scripted access to the
clipboard have been changed between IE 6 and 7, possibly prompted by
exactly this sort of script as its side effect is to destroy data that
belongs to the user without consent or warning.

I visited this page
http://www.futurebydesign-music.com/htmlprot/test.html, and sure enough
I couldn't highlight the text.

Then I disabled Javascript without reloading the page. Now I could
highlight and copy the text. I was using Firefox 1.5.0.7.

OK - I tested a few things out, I typed some meaning less data in notepad,
and then copied it to the clipboard, opened several browesrs, I couldn't
paste the text again until I had closed IE, but when tested with Firefox and
Navigator, I could copy and pase as normal.

Thanks for your explaniation it was a very helpful insight.

Just trying to point out that this protection of yours appears faulty.
But, hey, disregard my comment if its that offensive.
