is it possable (and if so how to code it?) to stop webpage veiwers being able to right click?
i'm sure i've seen it done before on several websites to stop yo being able to save pictures and/or to stop you veiwing the page source etc...

please help

There is  one here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/noright.htm but they aren't 100% proof as there is the print screen button to take pictures from the site and other ways to view the source of a page.

it is mainly to stop people vewing the page source. as my mate will "steal" the codes and i just want to see his reaction when he cant

thanks for the link

Note this is completely pointless as users can get your pictures / anything they want by viewing the source code. Also, as you are disabling right click, you are breaking alot of expected functionality .

I don't recommend this.

noo, the pictures im not worried about really. but it's the source code that i want to stop them veiwing. and im pretty sure my mate only knows how to veiw it by right clickin (the way i taugt him)

Whats wrong with them knowing the source code? What they see is what they see.. and anything that processes data etc (php) is hidden so they won't beable to see that .

oooohhh yer, set an external CSS style sheet ...?
i suppose that could work, btu i think i showed him how to veiw them aswell, lol.

dude, you cant stop people viewing your source code and you'll always get people that want to rip your code off if its decent, even if you do disable right click whats to stop me going to view -> page source??

i just read that,
but i also read encrypting the page source ...?
