How to disable right click on Squarespace

Protect yourself against image theft

Just a quick tip for all you Squarespace users out there. Unfortunately Squarespace hasn't baked in the functionality to disable right click in their templates.

The reason why you'd want to disable right click on your website is to make your images harder to steal. (Of course it can still be done - but hopefully this will deter the less determined).

The code

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery /1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> $(function () { $(this).bind("contextmenu", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }); }); </script>

You'll paste the above code into the Page Header Code Injection. This section can be found by clicking the settings button for the sections of your website you want to disable it in and going to the advanced tab.

Please note that it will disable right click for all the pages in that section of your website: i.e. if you paste it in your blog's page header code injection, it will disable right click for your entire blog.

I hope this helps!
