Turning off cut and paste

I can't turn off the cut and past popup menu using onSelectStart. I've tried everything:

<script>
onSelectStart = return false;
</script>

document.onselectstart = new Function ("return false;");

<body onselectstart = "return false;" >

Am I missing something? This has worked on previous projects. My dev machine is XP Pro, sp2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have to turn off cutting and pasting on a particular page.

I use both of these and it seems to work on my site:

<html onselectstart="return false" onselect="return false">

Have you checked the XP SP2 documentation to see if disabling those items is among the things websites are no longer allowed to do?

I’m on XP,SP2 and it doesn’t work just fine.

Uh, it works... by not doing anything... not selecting.
