[RESOLVED] Validate code

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 08.2011

I am using this line of code to prevent right-click (and subsequently [I]save image[/I]):

[CODE]<img src=”img/myimage.jpg” onMouseDown=”if (event.preventDefault) event.preventDefault()” oncontextmenu=”return false;” >[/CODE]

It’s a standard code, except that the browser warning is suppressed. And it works fine.
Unfortunately, this is not valid coding. So, is there a way to fix it?

Oh, and please no discussions about preventing theft from websites. I know nothing really works, I just want to deter the majority of web users.

Thanks in advance.

@twseitexAug 08.2011 — Hi,

check event object an method .preventDefault()

for Microsoft Interne Explorer see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535863.aspx

if(event.preventDefault)

this check a pointer like if(event.preventDefault!=null)

@PrisauthorSep 03.2011 — Found a jQuery snippet that works nicely:[CODE]<script type="text/javascript">
$('img').ready(function(){
$('img').bind("contextmenu",function(e){
return false;
});
});
</script>[/CODE]

Note: it comes from here and I adapted it. The original code disables right-click completely, but I do want visitors to be able to open links in new tabs or copy text. So here you go, disable right-click on images with jQuery.

Success!
