The problem I'm having for some reason is I can't have the status bar code(the one that scrolls text in the status bar) and the no right click code in the same page. Why is that? I'm using the HTML editor in Geocities. Any help will be appreciated :thumbsup:.

Maybe I didn't explain the problem so well. What happens is the message that is suppose to pop up when you right click is scrolling on the bottom in the statues bar and the text that is suppose scroll in status bar is gone. Please help :(.

Either post a URL so we can check it, or post your source code in it's entirety (inside [ code ] ... [/ code] tags, of course). There's only about a trillion things that could be wrong with the information you gave us.

Left-handers just love those no right click scripts. Look...Chances are you really don't have anything worth "stealing" since you are fairly new and have gotten some of "your" material from other sites anyway (including the no right click, the status bar, and all the other scripts). Just drop the no right click and you'll be all set. Why you ask? Read this (http://www.codingforums.com/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=51620&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) for a few minutes. :D

Hi DawgieDog,

First of all, there's no limit to how much JavaScripts you can have in one page. Normally, when you have two or more scripts in one page and some of them are not working properly the problem is always the same:Script conflict, what I believe that must be your case. Most of the Script conflicts are the result of one type of conflict duplication in event-handler access, in particular those concerning the BODY ONLOAD event handler.
Ok, you must be thinking, what does he mean?
Let me explain you using examples:
Lets suppose that your right-click script call "Script1" and that your status bar messenger call "Script2", ok?
The solution to your conflict is simple, but there's 3 different ways to solve the problem depending of your scripts.

First Case:

Script1: <body onload="dothis()">
Script2: <body onload="dothat()">
Solution- Remove one of the body tags and use something like that : <body onload="dothis();dothat()">

Second Case:
Script1: <body onload="dothis()">
Script2: window.onload=dothat()
Solution-Remove the window.onload line and use something like that: <body onload="dothis();dothat()">

Third Case:
Script1: window.onload=dothis()
Script2: window.onload=dothat()
Solution-Remove the window.onload lines and use something like that: <body onload="dothis();dothat()">

Doing one of the above things you'll be able to use the two scripts on the same page.

If you have some problem to setup your scripts just send them to me that I'll do it to you.

Take Care!!!

Easiest solution (as stated above) which should also be a "quick fix":

Lose the "no-right-click" script. It is completely useless, since source code cannot be protected. This should also temporarily fix your variable conflicts.

Secondly (after you implement the fix above) you might want to visit http://www.javascriptkit.com and look at the javascript tutorials; there is a very good tutorial there which will help you to resolve conflicts like this in the future.

Happy programming! :)

I can help your EMC site with the script conflict, but the scripts that you posted are the same. I think that you missed the right-click script.

Hi DawgieDog,

Your nightmare is over!!! I've got the solution to your script conflict!
I took both scripts and put them together and I noticed that the message on the status bar seems to change to the message of the right-click, them I tought, maybe the problem is the name of the variables that the scripts are using, they must be the same! And that was, both scripts have a variable called "message", and when you run your page through a browser it has problems to decide which is the value to use.
Them to solve your problem, take one of the script and change the name of this variable, and your problem will be solved.
Below I took your right-click script and change the variable by myself, you just need to cut and paste the lines below to your page and all your problems will be overcomed!!!

<script language="JavaScript"> <!--
// No rightclick script v.2.5
// (c) 1998 barts1000
// barts1000@aol.com
//provided free at http://www.lissaexplains.com
// Don't delete this header!

var messageRight="No right Click is available!"; // Message for the alert box

// Don't edit below!

function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(messageRight);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(messageRight);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// -->
</script>



Take care, and have a good time!!!
