It s unprofessional  anyway this will work with javascript enabled   document oncontextmenu   document body oncontextmenu   function    return false     You may also want to show a message to the user before returning false   However I have to say that this should not be done generally because it limits users options without resolving the issue  in fact the context menu can be very easily enabled again     The following article better explains why this should not be done and what other actions can be taken to solve common related issues  http   articles sitepoint com article dont-disable-right-click

There are plenty of examples of this which can be found via Google  However  users can turn off Javascript to stop this highly annoying  feature    I think you should really think about this before implementing it   It isn t really going to protect your content  if that is what you are trying achieve    There is an article here that illustrates just how annoying and pointless it is

lt body oncontextmenu  return false   gt  works for me in Google Chrome   Not sure about other browsers   Note  all someone has to do is disable JavaScript in order to see the right-click menu anyway

Please do not do that  it is very annoying   The right menu is there for a reason  and it should be left there  Many browser extensions add entries to the right click menu and the user should be able to use it in any page he visits   Moreover you can use all of the functionality of the right click menu in other ways  keyboard shortcuts  browser menu etc etc etc  so blocking the right click menu has the only effect of annoying the user   PS  If really you cannot resist the urge to block it at least do not put a popup saying  no right click allowed

Firstly  if you are doing this just to prevent people viewing the source of your page - it won t work  because they can always use a keyboard shortcut to view it   Secondly  you will have to use JavaScript to accomplish this  If the user has JS disabled  you cannot prevent the right click   That said  add this to your body tag to disable right clicks    lt body oncontextmenu  return false   gt
