>> Hi, what can i do, where users can't select and copy my text from >> web-page. If you send text to the user, the user can always retrieve that text as just that. Whatever secret l33t code you're trying to protect, is just copied from some dhtml tutorial anyway. Whatever text on the page you don't want them to copy, is in their browser cache, available from view source, and various other things. On the off chance there might be some unlikely possible reason, e.g. bank account information and only semi-trustworthy operators, you can always make it sufficiently difficult that it would be just as easy to retype it through use of the following: * Disable/prevent right click on the page. * Disable/prevent onselect action on all elements on the page. * Use CSS to make the onselect colors the same as unselected (my personal favorite, because people absolutely won't expect it, and won't see any JavaScript that's preventing them). * Use JavaScript to catch the copy/paste key events and prevent them (won't work with Linux/etc. where select auto-copies) * Numerous other silly underhanded and effectively pointless methods which I would be happy to detail to you for the low low cost of 3 easy payments of $29.95 USD. Keep in mind, all of these are just deterrents - nothing that truly prevents anything. For once my email disclaimer *really* applies.
