I know of at least 2 easier methods than this, of course it depends on what is used to disable right-click.

Method 1.

• Highlight the text, by dragging the mouse over it while holding the LEFT mouse button down.
• Press Ctrl+C

Method 2.

• Again highlight the text. (dragging the mouse over it with left mousebutton down)
• Leave the text highlighted, do not click on the document, but go to Edit -> Copy

I have a couple methods for saving pictures if Right click is disabled:

1. This one's kinda lenghty, but you can get almost anything you see on your monitor into an image. You press the "Prt Scrn" Key (to the right of F12). This copies your visible screen to your clipboard. Then you can paste it into Photoshop/Word/whatever, and crop out the parts of the screen capture that you don't want.

2. If you're web language savvy, you can go to View>Source in your browser and find the URL for the image, and then copy and paste that into you're address bar. However, there are ways to block access to page sources, so that might not always work.

There's a much simpler way to do it in Firefox (and maybe also IE).

I found this one from the Mozilla site. All you need to do is create a new bookmark (in the toolbar for easier access) - and in the URL of the bookmark type in:
java script:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)

Whenever you come across a page with blocked right-click menu, just click on this bookmark link and your context menu will come back right-away

Have fun

I would just look at the HTML of the page and find the picture (by finding text around it or the caption). Then I just type in the path into my address bar and I'm good to go.

I tried all of the above that involed using right-click with a combination of something else. Didn't work. Besides, why would I want to copy?

Disabling right-click is stupid anyway. If works were that "precious" then they would have watermarks splashed all over them.

Disaling right-click, I would think, only makes a visitor more obliged to copy the content.

Oh okay, I'll contradict myself. Again. File > Save Page As... or Ctrl+S lets you save the images, javascript, HTML page, etc...basically everything. (Or so I think.)

[mvs.en]

Yeah, really
Getting around a disabled right-click has got to be one of the most easy things to do on the internet.
Even the people who don't know anything about computers, if they have any sort of creative thinking powers, they'd be able to find a way around it themselves.

I don't come across websites with blocked right clicks very often, so it's not that much of an issue... Since really... Anyone who's created and hosted something even remotely valuable to warrant the disabling of right clicks... 9 times out of 10 would know that it's one of the easiest things in the world to get around.

I never have this problem because I use Firefox 2.0 and the NoScript extension. This prevents javascript from executing in the first place.

For sites that I need to use JS on but I want to turn off the right click issues, there is a greasemonkey script that pretty much does what microscopic's post details.

[SilverFox]

I got an easier way!

It only works with FF that I know of. Tools>Page Info.

Test it out. Its easier than any of the ideas I saw here (for me at least).

I imagine Opera can do that somehow but IE can't.

[WeaponX]

Good tip SilverFox. Didn't know about that Page Info feature in Firefox. Still have to go searching for that image link though...

Like others, I usually view the page source and find a link to that image (if it's descriptive). Otherwise, I check the temporary folder (yes, I have done this a few times myself before to see if it really works LOL)

[SilverFox]

Yeah if its a big site I think I'd also use the source code (after seeing this) or more likely the temp internet files.

There is no equivalent to Page Info in Opera (just looked). http://dev.opera.com/tools/ is an Opera addon for Developers and it might have something like that.

I'm pretty sure IE doesn't. The chances of finding a site with RightClick Disabled is not large.

[hazemmostafa]

Hello ,

If you have frontpage go to File menu and select edit with Microsoft Front Page and you get the page source and images
also works with webplus 10 and coffecup html editor
For granparadiso you can use SilverFox Page Info feature or Save page as both work


javascript for disable right click

[codebox]<script language="JavaScript">
function right(e) {
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' &&
(e.which == 3 || e.which == 2))
return false;
else if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
(event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {
alert("Right Click Disabled!!!");
return false;
}
return true;
}
document.onmousedown=right;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
window.onmousedown=right;
</script>[/codebox]

to disable image toolbar add this meta tag

[codebox]<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">[/codebox]


Thank You

Yeah, SilverFox, I forgot to mention the Page Info thing... I've used it before for these kinda things XD

But as you mentioned, it's kind of hard to find if you're on a heavily graphic dependant site because there ends up being a -lot- of files listed there <__<

I just checked and there isn't even a Search feature under Page Info (That I saw).

So I'm still gonna say that using Page Source on large/graphic dependant sites and using a Search feature if it's still alot of data to sift through would probably be the fastest way to go about getting an image you need.

And just incase there are any uncertainties... by "Graphic Dependant" I mean one of those sites that use an image... For everything... And would have like 500 files listed under Page Info <__<

i found a way to save pictures, movies, flash and almost anything embeded in firefox.

Go to the tools menu, click page info. Then go to the media tab. There you can find all of the pictures/images, movies, animations etc that are embeded or use by the page.

Very useful for saving images, or downloading flash games/moves!

Simple solution.. click on View..and then 'View Source'

[roguetrooper]

Well the easiest way of all is to just left click the image and drag it into your address bar, the image then opens in a new window and you can right click to your hearts content.

[Darasen]

The idea of disabling right clicking or plastering watermarks all over images is absolutely idiotic anyway. Interestingly the only places I have seen this done for "art" the images are absolute crap anyway. In large part those that use such practices are pornographers or deviant art dwellers who seem to think that any crappy anime rip off belongs in the Louvre. I also find it hysterical and insulting when someone does yet another Natruto (or whatever) image and then puts a copyright mark on it.

For the record the most profesional art site out there Conceptart.org never does this with images.

That to say I have never seen a disabling page that had anything worth capturing anyway.

Heh, so you haven't seen any actual graphic designers do this? You know they do it because they need to protect their work, right? Otherwise their client would just take the work, use it, and not pay. Granted, I don't think watermarks are the best way to protect artwork--showing a low resolution image of it is much better. It's unusable anyways, whereas a watermark is easily removed by anyone who has some semblance of Photoshop skills.

Obviously there are crap artists who do it, but if there are people (idiots?) copying from crap artists, who are you to complain? It's not like crap artists all draw Naruto (or other copyrighted) pieces; some just draw original crap (unfortunate!). And they get copied. (Which is rather sad)

For the record the most profesional art site out there Conceptart.org never does this with images.

For the record, he's not trying to sell his art. If he were, he wouldn't be idiotic enough to post his images in that high of a resolution (without an extremely glaring watermark), get it stolen, and then promptly complain. He's already got a job and isn't looking for another one. That's very different than freelance graphic designers who do need to make sure their work is paid for.

This has gone rather off-topic, from right click disabling to watermarks. :-P Anyways, back to the topic. Yeah, disabling right click is entirely useless. You have no idea if Javascript is even turned on in their browser (I, for instance, always keep NoScript on). I can click on any right-click disabled site without any hassles. Moreover, sometimes right click disabling doesn't even work--I remember trying on Firefox on a right-click disabled site--the alert box telling me not to right click showed up, but the right click menu showed up as well, so I could click as I pleased.

Finally, if you do want to protect images on your site, either don't post it to the internet or use low resolution images as a sample. You are merely making the web an annoyance for users who don't actually want to steal your content, while those who do want to nab your content can very easily do so anyway.

[Sensational]

I haven't really come across one of these sites in a while, but whenever i have done and i wanted to get an image from it then it really bugged me.

Before i would just print screen the page and then cut out the image i wanted using any image editor (mainly paint if i wanted to do it fast!).

Now i can say i know of quicker and easier ways of doing this (disabling it using the java)!

Thank you very much!

[Maxfelgar]

Thanks for the tip(s). There have been several occasions when I've needed to copy something from a website (not illegally) and the "you can't right click" sign comes up. I'll try out one or two of those methods next time I need something.

I especially like the idea of looking at the page source and copying it - that's a really good idea.
