How to Disable Right Click Using jQuery?

1. We include the jQuery library using a <script> tag.
2. Inside the $(document).ready() function, we attach an event handler to the contextmenu event using $(document).on("contextmenu", function(e) { ... }). This event is triggered when the user right-clicks on the page.
3. Within the event handler, we use e.preventDefault() to prevent the default behavior of the right-click event, effectively disabling the context menu from appearing.

When a user right-clicks on the page, the context menu won't appear due to the event handler preventing its default behavior.

As previously mentioned, it's essential to consider the user experience and potential accessibility issues when disabling right-click functionality. In many cases, it's better to use other methods, such as permissions, to control access to specific actions rather than completely disabling the right-click context menu. Disabling right-click should be done sparingly and with a clear reason for doing so.

Conclusion

To disable right-click using jQuery, attach an event handler to the contextmenu event and use e.preventDefault() to prevent the default behavior, thus preventing the context menu from appearing when the user right-clicks on an element or the page. This can be done within the $(document).ready() function. However, be cautious when disabling right-click, as it may disrupt the expected user experience and accessibility.
