Disable Print screen

[php-vikas]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me the way or script that i can disable a print screen button on a keyboard.

Thanks.

No, there is no way to do this, and trying to limit users' ability to use their own computers is always a bad idea.

I don't know if this is possible to the keypress event for that button may be set... overridden...
But I have no Idea if that button has any ascii value, I doubt..

Even i was also thinking so that it is bad idea to stop the visitor from using his own machine. However still i want to know that how can i restrict the user from printing my page.


Thanks.

Ehh... i wrote a site protections script and added this function in case someone wants to use diasable print screen :

if(document.all) window.onbeforeprint=new Function("window.location='';");

That works perfect on all browsers...

Most (all?) browsers that support JavaScript still allow you to turn it off, which I find myself doing frequently (especially when misguided webmasters try to prevent me from using the functions of my own computer).
