Jquery Disable Right Click, Cut, Copy and Paste with Example

 

Disabling right-click, cut, copy, and paste actions on a website using jQuery can be achieved to protect your content or images. Here's an explanation with examples for each action:


1. Disable Right-Click:

   

   To disable right-clicking on your webpage, you can use the following jQuery code:

   

   $(document).ready(function(){

       $(document).on('contextmenu', function(){

           return false;

       });

   });


   This code prevents the context menu (right-click menu) from appearing when users right-click anywhere on the page.


2. Disable Cut and Copy:


   To disable cut and copy actions, you can target specific input fields (e.g., textareas) using jQuery. Here's an example:


   <textarea id="no-cut-copy">This text cannot be cut or copied.</textarea>


   $(document).ready(function(){

       $('#no-cut-copy').on('cut copy', function(event){

           event.preventDefault();

       });

   });


   In this example, the `cut` and `copy` events are captured on the specified textarea, and the `event.preventDefault()` method prevents these actions.


3. Disable Paste:


   To disable paste actions, you can use jQuery like this:


   $(document).ready(function(){

       $('#no-paste').on('paste', function(event){

           event.preventDefault();

       });

   });


   In this example, the `paste` event is captured on the specified input field, and the `event.preventDefault()` method prevents pasting.


Here's a complete HTML file that combines these examples:


<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    <title>Disable Right-Click, Cut, Copy, and Paste</title>

    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>

    <script>

        $(document).ready(function(){

            // Disable right-click on the entire document

            $(document).on('contextmenu', function(){

                return false;

            });


            // Disable cut and copy on a specific textarea

            $('#no-cut-copy').on('cut copy', function(event){

                event.preventDefault();

            });


            // Disable paste on a specific input field

            $('#no-paste').on('paste', function(event){

                event.preventDefault();

            });

        });

    </script>

</head>

<body>

    <h1>Right-Click, Cut, Copy, and Paste Disabled</h1>

    <textarea id="no-cut-copy">This text cannot be cut or copied.</textarea>

    <input type="text" id="no-paste" placeholder="You can't paste here">

</body>

</html>


In this HTML file, right-clicking anywhere on the page is disabled, cut and copy are disabled for the specified textarea, and paste is disabled for the specified input field.
