Right Click = Close Popup

**DBookatay** · 10-28-2005, 12:01 PM

Is there a script that will close a popup window if the user trys to right click the page? I have a popup on my site that I dont want users to be able to View Source on, and I personally think the "Alert- Right Click has been disabled" scripts are very annoying.

I know <body onBlur="self.close()" onClick="self.close()"> for left click, but is there something for right click?

Any ideas?

just use onMouseUp()

onContextMenu deals with right click specifically, though it may be IE specific.

Or instead of cheating your hosting company AND your users, just don't have the popup in the first place.

Or disables java? Or has a popup blocker? Or uses a special browser? Or etc.

Wow, I started this thread in 2005...
Its not cheating to have a popup, sometimes popups serve a good function.

Interesting. How do old threads keep coming up like this?

Since someone did bring the thread back, explain how it's "cheating the hosting companies?"

If its a popup that loads when the page loads its annoying, not cheating. But if its something like I have on my site for definitions to certain words or sections, where the user clicks a link and has a popup page appear, it makes it easier for the user, instead of redirecting them to another page, then making them go back to the first page.
