How to disable right click for a Myspace page?

Suppress right-click menu on a web site

  • Is there a way to disable the right-click menu on a particular web page I visit that isn't managed by me? I play a solitaire game on a particular web site fairly often. It's not a Flash game, nor is it a Java applet, I suspect it's simply JavaScript. The game allows you to use both left and right clicks, each performing different actions, but every time you right-click the normal browser right-click menu appears...very annoying in this context. Is there a way for me to tell my browser I don't want the right-click menu to appear on this one particular page (or its domain, if that's easier)? I have greasemonkey installed, so a GM script would be ideal, but I haven't been able to locate one. I'm on Windows, using FF. Thanks mucho for any ideas. (I could possibly write my own script if pointed in the right direction.)

  • Answer:

    For Greasemonkey if(document.addEventListener) document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); }, false); else if(document.attachEvent) document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu', function() { event.cancelBubble = true; }); Set up a new user script and apply it to the appropriate domain, then copy and paste the above in.

An easy way for you to do it would be to make a toolbar bookmark with javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=new%20Function("return%20false"))in it. When you click on it up in your toolbar right clicking should be disabled for the page. Took me way longer to figure that out than it should have; I am apparently way too rusty with these things.

Thanks! I was able to get Sparx solution to work a treat, but I could not get Stunt's to work, which may be more me than their solution.
