But this is a Java forum not a Javascript forum. So I'll move this to the javascript forum.

I don't think there is a way to achieve this. Someone determined enough will easily gain access to your text and images no matter what you try (no right-click scripts, document.selection trapping, keystroke capture, etc.). If someone disables Javascript, they'll have the text and images or they can just view the source.

Is it sensitive information? It shouldn't be on a public website.

As for images, just watermark them instead.

If it's just pictures, the user can still get access to the pictures as soon as it is rendered in their browser, so the best solution, is to make them "useless" by watermarking them.

There is nothing that you can do that will be completely reliable. After all of people to view the page content their computers have to download it. Once they have it there is not much you can do. Most people find that trying to fight this is a waste of time. As long as the images are 72dpi they will be unusable for anything but computer viewing.

One thing you can do is setup an empty layer that will sit on top of everything. This would make everything under the layer visible, but un-accessible. Knowledgeable users could get around this, but it would prevent a lot of people from accessing the content. The other down side to this is that it will make everything un-accessible including your links. So you might just want to set it up to happen in specific spots.


Example
<div id="protectionLayer" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100% height: 100%; z-index:99" ></div>

I watermark all of our images here at work and that pretty much stops people in their tracks when they try to take our photos.
