block rightmouse button

Hello,

How to block the roght mouse button,
so no action will be taken (pop-up menu will not be shown)

Thanks!

Code:

<body oncontextmenu="return false;">

That takes care of the menu coming up for right-click and the menu button on the keyboard.

Only works for IE and is guaranteed to annoy users.

See http://javascript.about.com/library/blright.htm for the easiest way to reenable the context menu for when someone puts code on their page that attempts to block your access to your menu in your browser and where you are using a browser that is stupid enough to allow them to do so.

Works in FF and IE. I don't know about other browsers but I know it works in FF and IE.

PS: I agree that it is very annoying and useless.

HTML Code:

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--

var message="";
///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if 
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers) 
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
// --> 
</script>

yea..... why do u wanna do that anyhow???

quite annoying

.... just doesnt make sense.... anything that someone can do with a right-click, they can do by going up to the menu of their browser and doing it manually.....

***********************EDIT

works in IE, FF, Safari i THINK....

Opera ignores any attempt by the web page to block browser functions such as this. With other browsers it can be easily bypassed using a bookmarklet eg. http://javascript.about.com/library/blright.htm
