How To Disable "Copy And Paste" To Protect Your Source Code And Images

by Nelson Tan

Have you ever worked really hard on graphics for your site only to find later that someone has stolen them as their own. You can fully encrypt and protect your site with HTML-Protector and the scripts below will help against novices.

"No Right Click" JavaScript For Images

Use this script so when someone right-click to save an image off your page, a message will come up letting people know that your information is copyrighted.

This script only works on newer browsers, and it's not foolproof. If someone really wants something from your page they can find ways around it, but at least it's a warning to people who want to take your graphics. Copy and paste the following code, and make sure it comes right after your <HEAD> tag:

"No Right Click" JavaScript For Source

Here is a handy little script which will not only protect your images from right-clicking, but your whole page. Remember this only stops some visitors from viewing your source. There are ways around it and if someone really wants to view your source they may find a way. There is another trick below to protect your source code.

This script works best if placed within the head tags of your HTML:

return true;
}
document.onmousedown=right;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
window.onmousedown=right;
//--></script>

Disable "Copy And Paste"

One of the most popular security questions is "How do you stop visitors from stealing your web page information?"

Below is a little trick that will stop your visitors from copying and pasting your web page information. Anyone with experience may know a way around this trick. However it will make it hard enough to discourage them and get them moving on to easier targets.

Add the following HTML code to your <BODY> tag: <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false">

Then try to highlight text by holding left-click and dragging the mouse cursor. You will see that nothing works.

Make Your Source Code Vanish!

Now before I show you this last trick to protect your source, I would like you to first view my source. Just click "View" then choose "Source".

How did I do that?

Place your cursor in front of the opening <HTML> tag and hit your enter button for a while. It will push your source code out of view and this will fool the fools. Just a cheeky solution.

These are rather simple yet effective tricks for webmasters of all levels to implement even a 'sense' of security for their own site protection. However, when you are prepared to invest in a more powerful software, we recommend HTML-Protector for its ability to prevent e-mail address extraction, password-protect your web pages, encrypt links (especially order links!), disable screen-capture and many more!
