[Solved] Remove Right-click on images

[noahgelman]

I can’t seem to find a script to do this and works. I just want to disable right-clicking on images. Preferably in just javascript. The following seems obvious:

$('img').bind('contextmenu', function(e){

alert("We're sorry. Right-Click is not available");

return false;

});

But that doesn’t seem to work completely. Sometimes it’ll still let me click on the first try, but then the following tries it shows the alert.

I don’t want this to be a topic about why you shouldn’t disable right-clicking. I know

Got it. Was very frustrating.

$('img').each(function() {

$(this)[0].oncontextmenu = function() {

alert('We're sorry. Right-Click is not available');

return false;

};

});

That was the quickest post-to-solved thread ever!

Sorry >.>

I kept googling for answers, and came across a bunch of solutions, but every time I tried one of them, it wouldn’t work in one browser or another, so I got frustrated and posted here. And then the next solution I tried worked.

Naturally.

Any developer or anyone with internet smarts can grab any image regardless of how much it’s locked up. But if you work on a site and the client wants their images as protected as possible, you have to do your best to lock them down from as many people as possible.
