How to disable right click of mouse on myspace

[sub91320]

Been trying to get a code to work on myspace that disables users from using their right click fucntion to save my stuff. I know it can be done I have found some users who have this function; however myspace blocks the typical code most websites have to disable right clicking.
Any help as to what can be done to make this work

Here is a page no right clicking can be done on

Did you see this code in the source??

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var speed = 5

// decrease value to increase speed (must be positive)
// set pause between completion of message and beginning of following message
var pause = 10000

// increase value to increase pause
// set initial values
var timerID = null
var bannerRunning = false

// create array
var ar = new Array()

// assign the strings to the array's elements
ar[0] = "Hello There..."
ar[1] = "Welcome To My Page..."

// assign index of current message
var message = 0

// empty string initialization
var state = ""

// no value is currently being displayed
clearState()

// stop the banner if it is currently running
function stopBanner() {	
	// if banner is currently running	
	if (bannerRunning)		
	// stop the banner		
	clearTimeout(timerID)	
	// timer is now stopped	
	timerRunning = false
}

// start the banner
function startBanner() {	
	// make sure the banner is stopped	
	stopBanner()	
	// start the banner from the current position	
	showBanner()
}

// assign state a string of "0" characters of the length of the current message
function clearState() {	
	// initialize to empty string	
	state = ""	
	// create string of same length containing 0 digits	
	for (var i = 0; i < ar[message].length; ++i) {		
		state += "0"	
	}
}

// display the current message
function showBanner() {	
	// if the current message is done	
	if (getString()) {		
		// increment message		
		message++		
		// if new message is out of range wrap around to first message		
	if (ar.length <= message)			
		message = 0		
		// new message is first displayed as empty string		
		clearState()		
		// display next character after pause milliseconds		
		timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", pause)	
	} 
	else {		
		// initialize to empty string		
		var str = ""		
		// built string to be displayed (only character selected thus far are displayed)		
	for (var j = 0; j < state.length; ++j) {			
		str += (state.charAt(j) == "1") ? ar[message].charAt(j) : "     "		
	}		
	// partial string is placed in status bar		
	window.status = str		
	// add another character after speed milliseconds		
	timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", speed)	
	}
}

function getString() {	
	// set variable to true (it will stay true unless proven otherwise)	
	var full = true	
	// set variable to false if a free space is found in string (a not-displayed char)	
	for (var j = 0; j < state.length; ++j) {		
		// if character at index j of current message has not been placed in displayed string		
		if (state.charAt(j) == 0)			
		full = false	
	}	
	// return true immediately if no space found (avoid infinitive loop later)	
	if (full) return true	
	// search for random until free space found (braoken up via break statement)	
	while (1) {		
		// a random number (between 0 and state.length - 1 == message.length - 1)		
		var num = getRandom(ar[message].length)		
		// if free space found break infinitive loop		
	if (state.charAt(num) == "0")			
		break	
	}	
	// replace the 0 character with 1 character at place found	
	state = state.substring(0, num) + "1" + state.substring(num + 1, state.length)	
	// return false because the string was not full (free space was found)	
	return false
}

function getRandom(max) {	
	// create instance of current date	
	var now = new Date()		
	// create a random number (good generator)	
	var num = now.getTime() * now.getSeconds() * Math.random()	
	// cut random number to value between 0 and max - 1, inclusive	
	return num % max
}
startBanner()

That's how s/he did it. Hey it even uses that script from DD.

What if JavaScript was disabled? What if you were using a Pocket PC or an other handheld device, which only has cHTML? There is no reliable way to disable right-click.

mburt: after thinking a little bit on what the OP posted I think he means how to place javascripts in myspace. They don't allow javascript do they??

[mburt]

I'm not really sure.. Ya know, I think that was the original question.. But even if you do find a way to use JavaScript as a I said before, it can be easily avoided.

[shachi]

Yes I agree. If one is an experienced web designer then he never needs any other tools than a good text editor HTML and CSS to make nice websites(even dynamic menus can be made with CSS and HTML).

That code doesnt work either....I'm not after stopping the really smart guys rom getting the stuff I just want to stop the average joe from stealing images and using them elsewhere....from my myspace...
I know myspace isnt a big deal security wise but I would like to keep the average people from saving my pics

Yes myspace diables javascript...whenever you try to place the code it deletes the first bit of it and replaces it with .... on the begining and end of codes. I'm not genius enough to beat this just yet but I'm sure there is a way cause that persons page has it done. So there must be a way to make it work!!!

Thanks
Any more suggestions as to what to try???

If they can see it, they can get it. Right click is not required to copy images. A simple PrtSC, among other methods is all that is required.

Well yea obviously. I knew I shoulda said that in my last message. If someone is THAT desperate to get ur picture then they will. Yea, all they hafta do is Print Screen it. The perfect way to protect ur image and make sure no one else can take it, is to NOT post it at all. Buh yea, if u don't want someone to be able to right click and steal ur picture then the link I gave works perfect. (-_-)
