I'm afraid that isn't possible using javascript. The browser belongs to the user and they expect certain types of behaviour. To try and circumvent that can annoy users.

What is so important that your customer doesn't want copied?

If it is possible with JS then it ll not be standard JS and strongly Browse specific.

Kind regards,

It is possible to check for this. Use the onkeydown/press events (link) to check which key has been pressed. You can also check for Ctrl using CtrlKey. To prevent the event, just return false as given in the examples.

Regardless of the techniques you may use, you won't be able to prevent said actions. Anyone determined enough, will _easily_ circumvent any preventative measures you put in place.

If you don't want content / information to be copied, don't make it publically available on the Internet. Clients aren't the smartest people in the world. As the web developer, it's your responsibility to inform them of how the Internet works.

This is not about information being copied. It's about preventing users from copying the first email (which may have been typed incorrectly) to the second email.
