Disabling contextmenu doesn't work in IE since I've installed google bar

emmajoh · May 2, 2006

Hi

I'm trying to disable IE contextmenu (on a right click) as I want to
create my own.
The problem is that since I've installed the latest version of the
google desktop, the script doesn't work.
No other script I found on the Internet is working anymore.

As you can see below, I've tried to catch every event I'm aware of:
___________________________

<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript>
function noRightClick(){
return false;
}

</script>
</head>

<body>

<script>
document.onmousedown=noRightClick;
document.onmouseup=noRightClick;
document.oncontextmenu=noRightClick;
window.onmousedown=noRightClick;
window.onmouseup=noRightClick;
window.oncontextmenu=noRightClick;
document.documentElement.onmousedown=noRightClick;
document.documentElement.onmouseup=noRightClick;
document.documentElement.oncontextmenu=noRightClick;
document.body.onmousedown=noRightClick;
document.body.onmouseup=noRightClick;
document.body.oncontextmenu=noRightClick;
</script>
</body>
</html>

What else can I do?
Even more frustrating, The new yahoo mail beta manage to do it as it
has its own contextmenu when you right-click on an email...

Help please!!!

Another one re-inventing the wheel?

Hmmm. Uninstall the Google Desktop......

Most didn't work to start with that messed with the context menu.

Have you tried:

<body oncontextmenu="return false">

I have tried that now but it doesn't work
I though writing <script>document.body=noRightClick;</script> was
the same anyway (where the function noRightClick() returns false).

McKirahan, I just saw you had a similar problem a while ago (it only
worked whith an alert() in the function).
How did you manage to solve your problem?

No. It is not even close. What do you think setting the document.body to
a reference to a function is supposed to do?

He didn't if he is trying to over ride the context menu.
Want an IE only no context menu? Use an .hta

I presume your referring to my post of 08/24/2004
with a Subject of "Disable right-click without alert?".
(Randy Webb's responses were very informative.)

If you're referring to this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function click() {
if (event.button == 2) alert("right-click disabled.");
}
document.onmousedown = click;
</script>

it does not disable right-click.

Try it but continue to hold the right mouse button
down and press Enter to acknowledge the alert().
The context menu will then be displayed.
