How To Enabling Right Click On Sites That Disable It

Recommended Posts

Lots of web sites have disabled the right click function of the mouse button... it's really, really annoying. This is done so that you don't steal (via right-click->save picture) their photos or images or any other goodies. Unfortunately, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window.It's easy to change, assuming your using IE 6:Click "Tools"->"Internet Options"Click the "Security" tabClick "Custom Level"Scroll down to the "Scripting" sectionSet "Active Scripting" to "disable"Click "Ok" a couple of times.You'll probably want to turn this back to "enable" when your done... 'cause generally the javascript enhances a website.

It's easy to change, assuming your using IE 6:
Click "Tools"->"Internet Options"
Click the "Security" tab
Click "Custom Level"
Scroll down to the "Scripting" section
Set "Active Scripting" to "disable"
Click "Ok" a couple of times.

You'll probably want to turn this back to "enable" when your done... 'cause generally the javascript enhances a website.


This works for sites such a Piczo.com which do not allow right clicking on pictures.
Cheers Dude.

A funny thing happened the other day with one of these sites that tried to disable the right click. This particular site, (can't remember the address) opened a javascript alert window saying I didn't have permission to access the images, however it also opened the right-click menu allowing me to save the images. I don't know if this was because I am using Firefox or there is something wrong with their script. Anyone else had this happen?

Here is how I do it.  Place a shortcut in the Bookmarks Toolbar as follows:

Name: Allow Right Click

Location:  javascript:void(document.Oncontextmenu=null)

This will work 98% of the time.  Also try:

javascript:void(document.Onmousedown=null) 

Good Luck!
