I Googled a few codes, and when I tried to put them into my header, they didn't turn out right.

I know nothing about JavaScripts or how they work, but I can handle inserting a HTML Code or any kind of Code in the appropriate place.

I'm still using Frontpage as my editor at the moment, (Yes I know, I hate it too) but it's the easiest and quickest thing for me to use at the moment.

What do I need to do if I wish to disable these two features.

Thanks,

Total waste of time. The scripts don't stop anyone from stealing your text or images, but do annoy users who use the RC conext menu for legitimate purposes.

Anyone who wants to get the content you're trying to "protect" by disabling the right click will get it. All you're going to do by putting that in is put off legitimate visitors by screwing with their browsers. If you absolutely MUST put it in there are multiple scripts and tutorials a mere Google search away.

Put this in the body tag:

Code:

ondragstart="return 
false" onselectstart="return false"

It will end up looking like this:

Code:

<body ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false">

this and all those methods are a waste of time and all you do is annoy users who want to right click for legitimate reasons.

watermarking is the only worthwhile thing.

And for those of you who think javascript is the answer, you're not thinking far enough. If someone is determined to take your stuff, all they have to do is disable javascript in their browser, and your silly no-right-click script is useless and they can take whatever they want!

I use Right-click in FF for the context menu, many extensions, including mouse gesture navigation. It drives me nuts to come across a site where someone has disabled this functionality with their ill-advised scripts. I leave those sites, never to return!

Besides, there are not a lot of ways you can prevent the user from looking at the source code of the page. If you really want to protect your images, use watermarking.

But whatever you do: don't block the right-click. Not only does it hinder the viewing pleasure of the users (I have a lot of plugins that make use of the right-click functionality), but it's also a very insecure method to secure your images.
