There are
many lovely web sites out there being turned
down for awards because they have disabled the
right click function, This is a great injustice to those applicants because
it demonstrates prejudice towards those sites.
What
many award presenters don't realize is there are
times where its a necessity to disable this
function... I myself was the victim of having
my web page high-jacked and was forced to look
for means to protect my hard work.
I
spent some time looking on the web for a
program that would protect my site in
many different manners.
What
I found was HTML
Guard which not only protected by disabling
the right click but it also encrypted my source
code as well as disabled caching into Temporary
Internet Files, there are a few other options
including disabling right click on images only.
Using
these functions combined enabled me to put a
stop to this person high-jacking my page and
claiming it as their own.
Disabling
the right click is not going to protects
someone's web page by itself because any
experienced web user knows how to get around
it, but when used in conjunction with the other
methods that comes in HTML
Guard its a very powerful tool in
preventing web page high-jacking.
Unless
you know the whole story you should not assume
that its there for no other reason then to be
there.
Sometimes
there are justifiable reasons to use such
scripts.
Disabling
the right click is not going to keep one from being able to access those
options that are found in the right click, those same options can be
found in the tool bar at the top of their web browser, so trying to use that
as justification for disqualifying or penalizing applicants who disable
this function is not justifiable.
Disqualifying
or penalizing sites who have disabled the right click is a way of forcing
your own personal views on the web site owner, that is not what we are here
for.
We
as web site evaluators are here to
evaluate sites based on content, design,
functionality, use of html knowledge and the
over all appeal to the family unit as
well as the web community in general... "NOT"
on if
they have the right click disabled or not.
