Answer 1

While I agree in principle with the other posters that trying to do this may annoy the user, sometimes a manager or customer demands that this be done, and so an answer needs to be supplied.

Check out this page on www.dynamicdrive.com that will supply you with a few JavaScripts towards this end. Specifically see "Disable Text Select Script" and "No right click script".

Disable Text Select Script:

/***********************************************

function disableSelection(target){
if (typeof target.onselectstart!="undefined") //IE route
    target.onselectstart=function(){return false}
else if (typeof target.style.MozUserSelect!="undefined") //Firefox route
    target.style.MozUserSelect="none"
else //All other route (ie: Opera)
    target.onmousedown=function(){return false}
target.style.cursor = "default"
}

//Sample usages
//disableSelection(document.body) //Disable text selection on entire body
//disableSelection(document.getElementById("mydiv")) //Disable text selection on element with id="mydiv"

No right click script:

//Disable right mouse click Script

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")
