code to disable right click and view source

Previously submitted in Java but was told I should try a different category. Someone please advise if I have selected the wrong category. Thanks!

Could someone please forward me the code to disable view source and to also disable right click? I need this to work cross-browser 3.0 and up. Thanks.

(example exists at http://www.dotcomguy.com then click to watch him live. If you right click on the screen, a java window pops up thanking you for your support then you have to click ok to resume view. I believe the view source is disabled just by doing a javascript launched page and disabling tool bars but the right click thing has me stumped)

You can disable the right click in a page, but not the "View Source" button, so usnless yo are opening up a new window with buttons disabled this won't do much good. But here is the code anyway;

<html>
<head><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">

</script>
</head>
<BODY OnLoad="doNotSelect()" onClick="doNotSelect()" onRightClick="doNotSelect()">
Test
</body>
</html>

Why would you want to disable right-click? Just think about how often the right-click (or left-click - lefties) is used.

If the code (JavaScript mostly) or images are to be protected then put in some copyright notices. Disabling right click I think is unprofessional and a sign you don't trust your visitors or clients.

If you want to protect something that badly, why have it on the web?
