Sometime you need to prevent you text from simple copy paste. For it you can disable text selection on your browser. By this article i am just giving an example to handle browser event. It’s a tricky method not full proofed method to prevent your text from copy-paste.
You can use a JavaScript function as below
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
//Disable select-text script (IE4+, NS6+)
function disableselect(e){
return false
}
function reEnable(){
return true
}
//if IE4+
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
//if NS6
if (window.sidebar){
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
</SCRIPT>
Also you can use a example or test html like
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
//Disable select-text script (IE4+, NS6+)
function disableselect(e){
return false
}
function reEnable(){
return true
}
//if IE4+
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
//if NS6
if (window.sidebar){
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
</SCRIPT>
</html>
By running this html on your browser you can check. It’s not allowing you to select your text. But user still can get your data from source of html or by right clicking with option select all.
