Preventing right-click

 

Introduction

Want to prevent someone copying images from your website? Well, you can't! But you can make it harder to call for the contextmenu with the mouse. Javascript can react on the event. So you can say: "Hey! Just do nothing, when someone wants to see the right-mouse-click-menu.

Required

I'll show you two versions. One requires only Javascript itself. The other one works with jQuery.

JS

window.oncontextmenu = function () {
        return false;
}

jQuery

$("*").contextmenu(function(){
        return false;
});

or

$("*").on("contextmenu", function () {
       return false;
});
