Thread: right click

Aloha, when I right click on my index page a sign comes up that says Pirate!
This doesn't sound good to me. Can someone with experience with this help explain this to me and what can I do about it please.

I get the same right click menu I get on any site.

Doesn't pirate mean something sinister?

Do you have some sort of script installed to stop people from right clicking?

Posting a screen shot of things like this is a good idea so we can see what you mean.

You can change the wording in that script ...

Where it says Pirate - change that to say, "Please do not take my images" or you could say "Please ask Permission" or whatever you wanted to say ...

You could also get rid of that script, and just post a small transparent shape over your images, and the things that you do not want taken, be careful not to put it over anything that needs clicking, like a link, but if you place this over your image, the user will just get the blank transparent shape instead of your pic, and you will not need the "no right click" script. Just an idea for you ...

I suggest you get rid of the disabling right click - which is what is giving that message. You don't like it - and neither will others :) - even if you change what it says.

I don't have a disabling right click on any of my images.

Screenshot?

You have disable right click on the entire PAGE. But since it's easy to get around - this is the code you have that is disabling right click:

<script language="Javascript1.2">
// ***********************************************
// AUTHOR: WWW.CGISCRIPT.NET, LLC
// URL: http://www.cgiscript.net
// Use the script, just leave this message intact.

// ***********************************************
message = "Pirate!";
function NoRig***lick(b) {
if(((navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")&&(event.button > 1))
||((navigator.appName=="Netscape")&&(b.which > 1))){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
document.onmousedown = NoRig***lick;
// -->
</script>

Silly me, I must have done during one of my marathon working times. Well, at least it is nothing sinister. Thank you for all your explanations everyone. I appreciate your help.

Hi Scuba

In case you are wondering where you may have put this script, it is is the page html, the area that you can find when you click on page properties ...

In case you want to remove it, change it or whatever ... that is where you placed the script ...
