I have a code that prevents highlighting, but it only works on IE

Does anyone know of a script that will do the same on Netscape?

Create an image of the text ;-)

You could put the text in a span and ignore all left mouse clicks.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend this as an method trying to prevent users to copy your text if that's what you're trying to do.

Does this work the same way as
<body onselectstart="return false">, but on Netscape also?

Also, where do I place this code?

yes.

<span onMous... >
Put text here
</span

This does not prevent someone from using the left click, does it?

I would recommend experimenting yourself with the various possibilities. I think you find a quick answer to questions such as the "left click". ;-)

wardbekker, where in the code do I place this?

D'oh. When I disable the Javascript from the browser, then none of these methods works... If you want to prevent your users copying and pasting the web site content, it might not be an effective solution.

Ebgreen, I would recommend you to do some reading about the basics of javascript. I could explain the specifics here, but after reading a good book about javascript, you can figure it out yourself ;-)

All I was asking is where the code is placed and what it does. This only takes two sentences. I don't need a javascript book for that?
