Does anyone know where I can find an extention for inserting a "Right-Click" action to try and stop people stealing my content ? I have seen several Java scripts but would love a simple behavior to do this, as I have about 250 pages to do.

Thanks

An alternate solution might be to talk with the ISP that manages the web site and discuss with them solution on this matter. I seem to remember at www.macromedia.com that they suggest you changes the permisisons of the directories so that the users have only execute access. This may not be applicable with your site, but then again it may be another way to solve the same problem and then you do not have to write and insert a script for all 250 pages

Thanks, I will look into that as well.

The key thing is stopping people saving images easily...

Traveller....

in the absence of an extension, try the following:

firt of all, make a template for your site with the embedded code so that you don't have to worry about it in the future...

second, try going to Edit > Find and Replace (CTL + F) and set it to look for "Source Code" in "Entire local site" and replace your closing HEAD tag with the JS script + the closing HEAD tag.

Further....you really need to understand that you CANNOT PROTECT YOUR IMAGES. PERIOD. I am sorry if I am bursting a bubble, but the concept is simply flawed. Please realize that anything that they can view they already have on their hard-drive. We never really see anything that is on the net (per se)....we see it from our own cache. You might be making it a bit more difficult for them to see the source (along with tricks like no toolbars and auto-refresh to different pages, etc...) but you cannot stop them.
in fact, the effect that you are trying to achieve is, quite frankly, annoying. You will most likely incite them to try that much harder. This sort of code is (in my personal opinion) best left to the porn/warez sites.

good luck anyway!

to be specific....(i felt bad not offering an example!) <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

replace:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;/head&gt; </font id=code></pre id=code>

with:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;script language="Javascript1.2"&gt;
message = "Function Disabled!";
function NoRightClick(b) {
if(((navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"&&(event.button &gt; 1))
||((navigator.appName=="Netscape"&&(b.which &gt; 1))){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
document.onmousedown = NoRightClick;

// --&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>


peace!

I read something last night in a reference book about using server side behaviors to protect a page.... this might be another option. I will re-read and either para-phrase or scan in the page of the book and send to you.

GT here is the information, late but as promised.....
Reference is SAM's Teach yourself DWUD in 21 Days.... Chapter 18 page 543

Open the page you want to protect
Open Server Behavior Palett
Click + and Choose Restrict Access to Page From User Authentication Submenu
Configure the Behavior to restrict access based on USERname and Passoword.

Last alternative solution. Macromedia at www.macromedia.com has in it extention download section an extenion available for download that will allow the programmer to define the right click function. Title Right Click Menu Buiding Extention.
