enabling right click:

Question

I've a web page(which I don't control) with:

<body oncontextmenu="return false">

I want to enable right click but there's no way I'm able to do it. In the saved html when I removed this oncontextmenu then it started working.

I've tried all mentioned here, but it's not working for me.

Here is the saved copy of web page.

@RoryMcCrossan I've tried `$("body").prop('onclick', null).off('click');` but does not work — user5858, May 03 '17 at 07:36
@user5858 If you don't control the web page then how you can enable the right click? This line `oncontextmenu="return false"` is clearly saying that you have intentionally disabled the right click. In order to enable the right click, you need to remove this attribute. — Arpit Kumar, May 03 '17 at 07:48

Try to execute the bellow code in webdev console :

window.addEventListener("contextmenu", 
  function(e){
     e.stopPropagation()
}, true);

body,html {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
}

<body oncontextmenu="return false">
 text
</body>

In 2022 and for Firefox you must place the oncontextmenu attribut to the html tag not to the body tag

<html oncontextmenu="return false">

window.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {e.stopPropagation();e.preventDefault();}, true);

in body & html

<html oncontextmenu="return false">
<body oncontextmenu="return false">

I hope it helps navigators.
