Hi,
It may be possible that this is a very simple thing.But as I dont know, it may seem a challange to me.
The prob. is that
I want a script through which, I can disable copy paste in entire system when a site is open.
For example, http://www.targetpublishers.com
Once you open this site, you can not copy paste in even other applications.
Please let me know the feedback.
Thanks..

Savan

Point is, you can try to make it harder for users not to copy stuff, and irritate the heck out of them, but you won't be a able to prevent it....

Couldn't agree with you more Imar.

Thought you had left the planet.

<script language="javascript">
document.onmousedown=disableclick
status="Right Click Disabled"
function disableclick(e) {
if( event.button==2 )
alert("Sorry Right Click has been disabled!");
return false;
}
</script>

That only stops you from right-clicking which is *really* annoying. I always use the browser's Back menu item on the context menu for example, instead of the browser's back button. With your code, that option is gone, while I can still press Ctrl+A + Ctrl+C to select everything and then copy it. So, you frustrate your users without adding anything useful to stop determined people.

savan_thakkar: search this forum for a few other threads on this topic. You'll find them amusing to read, and you'll find some useful tips to accomplish what you want (including JavaScript that continuously copies data to the clipboard, overwriting whatever you may have copied there)

Is there any reason why you want people to stop copying your data?

Cheers,

Imar

i know it's anoying.. just an example that it can be done to some extent. And yes ctrl-c will works...

Yes Imar,
But you can see the Javascript for any website. Javascript and .css files can not be hidden. You can download javascript file (.js) from any site.
But I can not understand the issue with http://www.targetpublishers.com
It's right that it continuously overwriting the clipboard content with single whitespace.
But If it's a javscript, then we should be able to see the script.
One more thing,

If you see the source of the index page on site I mentioned, some scripts are :

document.write(unescape("%3C%53%43%52%49%50%54%20% 4C%41%4E%47%55%41%47%45%3D%22%4A%61%76%61%53%63%72 %69%70%74%22%3E%3C%21%2D%2D%0D%0A%68%70%5F%6F%6B%3 D%74%72%75%65%3B%66%75%6E%63%74%69%6F%6E%20%68%70% 5F%64%30%31%28%73%29%7B%69%66%28%21%68%70%5F%6F%6B %29%72%65%74%75%72%6E%3B%76%61%72%20%6F%3D%22%22%2 C%61%72%3D%6E%65%77%20%41%72%72%61%79%28%29%2C%6F% 73%3D%22%22%2C%69%63%3D%30%3B%66%6F%72%28%69%3D%30 %3B%69%3C%73%2E%6C%65%6E%67%74%68%3B%69%2B%2B%29%7 B%63%3D%73%2E%63%68%61%72%43%6F%64%65%41%74%28%69% 29%3B%69%66%28%63%3C%31%32%38%29%63%3D%63%5E%32%3B %6F%73%2B%3D%53%74%72%69%6E%67%2E%66%72%6F%6D%43%6 8%61%72%43%6F%64%65%28%63%29%3B%69%66%28%6F%73%2E% 6C%65%6E%67%74%68%3E%38%30%29%7B%61%72%5B%69%63%2B %2B%5D%3D%6F%73%3B%6F%73%3D%22%22%7D%7D%6F%3D%61%7 2%2E%6A%6F%69%6E%28%22%22%29%2B%6F%73%3B%64%6F%63% 75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%77%72%69%74%65%28%6F%29%7D%2F%2F %2D%2D%3E%3C%2F%53%43%52%49%50%54%3E"));

What is this?
I also dont understand what is "unescape"??
Please reply , if you know about it....
Thanks to all of you for you interest....

I don't know exactly how they do it, because I never bothered to look. Like I said before, you can irritate users, but you can never prevent them from looking at the source. You need to look for other ways to protect your intellectual property.

That said, take the stuff you posted, put it inside a <script> block in an HTML page, and replace document.write with alert. You'll see some interesting stuff.

Is there any reason why you want people to stop copying your data?

Yes, there is a specific reason behind this stuff.
But does it really matter??
I just want the users not being able to copy and paste in entire system.
I searched for Javscript that continuously update the Clipboard.
But could not find anything.
Any feedback, please let me know.

THANKS...
