Is there a way to stop people from copying text on my web page? There is always a way for visitors to copy text and images from an HTML web page. It is possible to make it more difficult for visitors to copy your website text content. Most people use the \"Ctrl-C\" keys to copy text. You can disable the Ctrl-c action or the copy text key command from happening on your web page by doing the following.<\/p>\n

How to disable Control copy(C) on your web page<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Place this code snippet in the header section of your html document.\n

     Javascript | <\/td><\/td> copy code |<\/td>?<\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    01<\/td>
    <<\/span>script type=<\/span>"text\/javascript"<\/span>><\/span>\/\/ <![CDATA[<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    02<\/td>
    function<\/span> onKeyDown(<\/span>)<\/span> {<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    03<\/td>
      \/\/ current pressed key<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    04<\/td>
      var<\/span> pressedKey =<\/span> String.fromCharCode<\/span>(<\/span>event.keyCode<\/span>)<\/span>.toLowerCase<\/span>(<\/span>)<\/span>;<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    05<\/td>
      if<\/span> (<\/span>event.ctrlKey<\/span> &&<\/span> (<\/span>pressedKey ==<\/span> "c"<\/span> ||<\/span> <\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    06<\/td>
                            pressedKey ==<\/span> "v"<\/span>)<\/span>)<\/span> {<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    07<\/td>
        \/\/ disable key press processing<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    08<\/td>
        event.returnValue<\/span> =<\/span> false<\/span>;<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    09<\/td>
      }<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    10<\/td>
    }<\/span> \/\/ onKeyDown<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr>
    11<\/td>
    \/\/ ]]><\/script><\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/pre><\/li>\n
