Well, someone at office asked me to disable normal/beginner users from copying our help website. So I search all over the Google and found some really nice tricks to do the task. Here how we can prevent users from copy/paste, right click, print screen and print command.

First we look at the JavaScript code for right click

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")

Then disable the print command by using CSS for print.

Now we work on copy/paste and print screen. This method includes Adobe Flash to do the task. So on the first frame of flash frame copy and paste the ActionScript below and then include the flash file on any part of your page.

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
   System.setClipboard("As long as this page is open your copy/paste functionality has been disabled.");
}

Please note that Copy/Paste and Print Screen will remain disabled until you close the page.
