How do I disable right click on my web page?

Question

Can I disable right click on my web page without using JavaScript? I ask this because most browsers allow user to disable JavaScript.

If not, how do I use JavaScript to disable right click?

Answer 1

If you are a jquery fan,use this

    $(function() {
        $(this).bind("contextmenu", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
        });
    }); 

Answer 2

Javascript:

document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].setAttribute("oncontextmenu", "return false"); 

Answer 3

 $(document).ready(function () {
            document.oncontextmenu = document.body.oncontextmenu = function () { return false; }
        });

Answer 4

Important Note: It depends on browser and OS to allow such prevention or not!

Should you do it? No. Because it will not prevent the user, but it will just annoys him/her.

Can you use it? Yes. Examples: In some web-apps where you want to have customized pop-up menu, in-game where users might be annoyed when mistakenly they right-click, and other cases.

Chrome (v65) in Ubuntu 16.04 = You CAN disable right-click.

Chrome (v65) in Mac OS 10.11 = You CAN NOT disable right-click.

Chrome (v65) in Windows 7 = You CAN NOT disable right-click.

Firefox (v41) in Mac OS 10.11 = You CAN disable right-click.

Firefox (v43) in Windows 7 = You CAN disable right-click.

// JS way
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
});

// jQuery way
$(document).bind('contextmenu', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
});

Answer 5

Do it like below (It works on firefox too):

$(document).on("contextmenu",function(e){

     if( e.button == 2 ) {
         e.preventDefault();
          callYourownFucntionOrCodeHere();
     }
return true;
});

Answer 6

Of course, as per all other comments here, this simply doesn't work.

I did once construct a simple java applet for a client which forced any capture of of an image to be done via screen capture and you might like to consider a similar technique. It worked, within the limitations, but I still think it was a waste of time.
