javascript - 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

You can do that with JavaScript by adding an event listener for the "contextmenu" event and calling the preventDefault() method:

document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => event.preventDefault());

That being said: DON'T DO IT.

Why? Because it achieves nothing other than annoying users. Also many browsers have a security option to disallow disabling of the right click (context) menu anyway.

Not sure why you'd want to. If it's out of some misplaced belief that you can protect your source code or images that way, think again: you can't.
