no copy or paste

@john_zakariaOct 07.2009

i have a form and i have a filed named ~~[B]~~password[/B] and its id= password
and the other one is ~~[B]~~verify password[/B]

i want to make a function so that the user cant make (copy / paste ) or (ctrl+c , ctrl+x / ctrl+v)
because many users on password field can try to copy the password and in the verify password filed they paste it again

i want to disable copy and paste in these 2 fields only.

would you accept the forms from users without javascript? if so, then it's not only annoying, it's unfair and arbitrary.

just in case you have a good reason, here is some code:

[CODE]
 <form action= ""  method="POST" >
 p1<input  type='password'   onselect="this.blur()" oncopy="this.value=''; return false;" oncontextmenu="return false;" />	 <br />
 p2<input  type='password'      onpaste="var that=this; setTimeout(function(){that.value=''}, 50)"  /> 
 </form>
 [/CODE]

there might be some scenarios where this won't work, and it doesn't block context menus on safari or opera...

but hey: it's a start, and it reveals your intentions to the user.

but again, if i were stuck in some situation where i had to use an on-screen keyboard to fill out our form,

and you pulled this out on me, i would probably leave the site instead of retyping something i already finished...

(ok, in honesty, i might 'inspect element' and copy the value there, but most people wouldn't)

well, kinda.

at least Firefox3 allows cut and paste on passwords, BUT the value copied/pasted is comprised of repeating "●" chars, so to the user it looks like it worked, and they have no way of telling it didn't until submit.

preventing a cut/paste would avoid that confusion.
