Disable Right Click in OAF page

Following code in controller will block the Right Click, Context Menu Options for IE and Netscape both:

  pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("click()",
    "var message=\"Due to security reason, Right Click is not allowed\";"+
      "function right2(){\n"+
           "if (event.button==2){\n"+
                "alert(\"Right Click is not allowed.\");\n"+
                "return false;\n"+
            "}\n"+
       "}\n"+
 "function rightClickTest (e) \n" +
 "{\n" +
      "if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){ \n"+
        "if (e.which==2||e.which==3){\n"+
            "alert(\"You do not have permission to right click.\");\n" +
            "return false;\n" +
        "}\n"+
      "}\n"+
  "}\n"+
  "if (document.layers) {" +
      "document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);\n" +
      "document.onmousedown=rightClickTest;\n"+
  "}\n"+
  "else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){" +
      "document.onmousedown=right2;\n"+
  "}\n"+
  "document.oncontextmenu=new Function(\"alert(message);return false;\")"
 );

Following scenarios have been tested and worked fine:

• Switching the Buttons (Left-Right) has no impact because it doesn't change the event raised.
• Context Menu from the keyboard is getting blocked as expected.

Why is it needed?

This is one question that I have not been able to find the answer. I can't think of any valid logical reason for disabling the right click. I have seen it in following places:

• Bank has disabled right click on pages that shows account information.
• Companies disable right click on page that displays the payslips.

How to enable the right click?

1.  Copy following javascript code in your browser and hit enter.

javascript:void(document.onmousedown=null);void(document.onmouseup=null);void(document.onclick=null);void(document.oncontextmenu=null)

Above seems to be working for OAF pages that have right click blocked and other websites including my bank's website as well.

2.  Disabling the javascript in browser also enable the Right click in websites.

Whether we should do that or not?

NO, its very annoying, and incomplete solution. We should find better way to restrict and protect information that we need to protect.
