Blogger Templates Blog

Tired of protecting your content from scrappers? You have taken every measure to stop plagiarism from taking place, but of no avail. Don’t worry, today we’ll share with you a very easy method that will prevent scrappers/thieves from illegally stealing content from your blog.

This procedure is fairly simple. All you have to do is copy a piece of code and add it on your blog. Now when ever some one will come with the intention to steal your content and would press the right click mouse button. BANG!! He’ll get a function disabled message, thus discouraging him from stealing your content easily.

Disable Right Click Mouse Button

Log-in to your Blogger’s  Dashboard, go to “Layout“, click “Add Gadget”, scroll down a little and look for “HTML/JavaScript”. A new window will pop out, copy paste the code shown below onto the HTML/JavaScript text box;

<script language=”JavaScript”>
<!–
//Disable right mouse click Script
//By Maximus (maximus@nsimail.com) w/ mods by DynamicDrive
//For full source code, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com
var message=”Function Disabled!”;

///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE4(){
if (event.button==2){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){ alert(message); return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function(“alert(message);return false”)
// –>
</script>

Save  the widget and close it. You’r Done! Now to see if it actually works or not; open your homepage (or any other page) and use the right click mouse button. You’ll be prompted with a ‘function disable‘ message.

Change Prompt Message

You can even change the message to suit your needs. In order to change the message, you will have to edit the above code. Follow the steps shown below:

1. Locate the sixth line from the beginning, namely;

var message=”Function Disabled!”;

Notice that it outputs a  ”Function Disabled!” message;  Now simply change the message to what ever you feel like. The final result would be;

var message=”The Right Mouse Function is Disabled!”;

Save the widget and preview the changes you have made.

PS: Although there is a way around this trick, but since its hard to implement, the scrapper will have no choice but to leave your blog unharmed.
