Disable right-click with jQuery

July 28, 2022July 14, 2021 by Aman Mehra

Do you want to disable the right-click on the webpage using jQuery? Then you just have to add 4 lines of code to achieve this. We will learn how you can do this with the below code.

The right-click actually prevents the user to view your webpage source and many other things like network request check, style code check, accessibility, etc.

Let’s see the simple 4 line code.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).bind("contextmenu", function(e) {
        return false;
    });
});
</script>

Add the above jquery code in your footer of the webpage (in WordPress you can add in footer.php file) and it will disable the right-click when someone tries to click on the webpage.

Being Tricky 😉
