Prevent text copy

[Wayne-I-M]

Hi

I know that its not possible to protect a webpage - if it's on the screen
you can copy it. But I'm thinking about the "casual user" which is the
majority of people (I personally can remove any watermark from a picture -
and have done when people have copied mine, so I can send it back to a web
owner).

I would like a method of stopping the casuall user from copying the text
contents of a page - if it's possible - some sort of prevent right mouse
down. I understand that anyone who knows about "stuff" (?) will be able to
get it but I would let to make it a little more difficult for the casual user
if it possible.

I am talking about preventing the copying of text not pictures. The problem
with this is that you can left mouse drag to copy to the clipboard. It's a
problem - have googled this but can't find anything

Many thanks

The following works in IE when placed in the body tag of a page:

onselectstart="return false" ondragstart="return false"
