Simple little code,
prevents guests from copying and pasting.

<script language="JavaScript">

function right(e) {

if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' && 

(e.which == 3 || e.which == 2))

return false;

else if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' && 

(event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {

alert("Please don't steal my stuff!!!");

return false;

}

return true;

}

document.onmousedown=right;

if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);

window.onmousedown=right;

</script>

Standard HTML:

		Code 			
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title></title>
		<link rel='stylesheet' href='css source' />
		<script src='Script Source'></script>
		<script>
			All that jazz;
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		Content
	</body>
</html>
	

Because you don't understand this, you need to (at this point) completely give up of JavaScript and learn static HTML. If you don't you will NEVER comprehend ANY web development language.

heres something to prevent CTRL+C (in jQuery)

		Code 			
$(function(){
	ctrl=false;
	$(document).keydown(function(e){
		if(e.keyCode==17)ctrl=true;
		else if(e.keyCode==67&&ctrl){e.preventDefault();return false;}
	}).keyup(function(e){if(e.keyCode==17)ctrl=false;});
});

Ack, I would be very bothered if something like this stopped me from copying text. I usually copy strings to run them through Google, not to steal any information.
