This would work perfectly if keyboards 
didnâ€™t have a menu key and users 
dint know about the shift+f10.

Y would you want to make something 
source safe? and if u did y in dhtml? 
an activex control/java applet or any 
commercil plugin (flash, shockwave, 
etc) would be a better job.
ne way, 
i've written a program (abit in VB - 
just a quick personnal prog so i 
couldn't be bothered with c++) to load 
the source strait out of the net the 
same way that ie does.
You could 
also drag ur images other the address 
bar in ie!! 
Finnaly, all webpages 
are cashed in your temp internet files 
(on pc & mac. I havn't used linux long 
enouth to know where it stores it :( ) 
so all u'll have to do is open the 
chased doument off the temp folder and 
into notepad.
Now in retrospect, was 
it really worth the hassle of 
produceing some code (and it looks as 
if u have put a great deal of time and 
thought into it) that tries to defy the 
very nature of the internet?

Hey nice script... but to make it safer 
do this to :) just have the user press 
the tab key 
lol
event.button=3

press down the left mouse button and 
then press the right... See what i 
mean.. Good code :)

I use the same thing except instead of 
alerting, i just close the window. :D

I agree this script is absolutely 
useless.
Also, if you know what you 
are doing, you can use a meta tag to 
ensure that none of the current batch 
of silly web browsers will cache your 
web pages, i.e, they won't save them in 
the windows "Temporary Internet Files" 
folders.
Just use "<meta 
http-equiv="Cache-Control" 
content="no-cache" />" and the silly 
browsers won't cache your web 
documents. BE WARNED that this will not 
workl with all web browsers, Aol's 
(Always Off Line?) crappy AOL's proxy 
servers don't take a blind bit of a 
documents' HTML content. It ignores it 
in entirely. Bleeding corporate gits, 
always trying to manipulate things is 
aol.
