Finally, this method is serving the users the protection which most likely shouldn’t be considered as protection. When someone is trying to copy your content, they will receive the “Right-Click on this site is disabled. Hold Ctrl key and click on the link to open in new tab” message. Yet somehow they manage to steal your contents; below are some examples of how a user can steal your texts and use them to somewhere else.
- For this to work without a glitch, the JavaScript must be enabled on the browser
- They view the source code and find the image or the text which they want to copy in the source code and then drag the image from the browser and drop it to their preferred location
- If the user wants to copy a text, they may highlight it and then copy the text and paste it somewhere else.
Source Code
If you want to protect your posts, we suggest you try this method. This method will only display a Copyrighted notice once a user clicks on the image you are looking to protect. You have to add the code in-between the HTML <head> </head> tags.
<script language=”JavaScript” Type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
function popupMsg(theMsg) {
alert(theMsg);
}
//–>
</script>
This code is to be added into the header while you are adding an image and at the same time, you can use the below code:
<IMG SRC=”issues/pictures/cexample.gif” onMouseDown=”popupMsg(‘This image is Copyrighted — Computer Hope 2007’)”>
