disable right click without js and css

Question

This is a random Chinese website http://www.soap-china.com/index.asp

I noticed that right click is disabled. I always have JavaScript off, so I started delete node by node, css line by line in Firebag, but didn't find out what is disabling right click.

How does it work?

This is not first time I see this, so I am curious about this trick.

Wow, that’s really something. I would have guessed `pointer-events: none` (since selection doesn’t work either), but it’s not that. Flash, maybe, but that’s not everywhere. Good question! — Ry-, Aug 31 '14 at 22:27
There’s the `onselectstart="return false"`, but that is, of course, JavaScript… — Ry-, Aug 31 '14 at 22:31

If your body does not cover the whole screen and you want to disable right click on the whole screen, use this with the html tag. ` ... `. Helped me in a Chromium Kiosk with Raspberry Pi OS Buster. – nsssayom Sep 08 '20 at 07:24
This is technically using javascript – Juan Campa Dec 06 '22 at 00:06

It is done with javascript.

I have disabled javascript and I can right-click. It disables with:

<script language="JavaScript">
document.oncontextmenu =new Function("return false;")
</script>    
<body onselectstart="return false">

There might be an issue with your browser, the site is online for me.

Yep. That is strange, but NoScript doesn't stop this script. So it is NoScript bag. I should check default javascript off. – Qiao Aug 31 '14 at 22:43

You can use user-select in CSS on any elements you don't want to be clicked on. Variants are needed for some older browsers though. As follows;

-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;

The best way to do this :

<script type="text/javascript">
document.oncontextmenu =new Function("return false;")
document.onselectstart =new Function("return false;")
</script>

Good luck.

contexmenu means the right click menu, select means text select. Right? – Satish Patro Dec 07 '19 at 05:50

Or you can always do this simple method

add the oncontextmenu handler to it as

<body oncontextmenu="return false">
