Hi,
I have this piece of js code which fails XHTML validation, can some one please externalize this code for me using JS. I am not into Javascript and actual code sample will be highly appreciated.
<body ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false">
Thank you all in advance...
Cheers,
Piscean
I'd get them out of the BODY element and stick them into a separate JavaScript file which calls them through a function that targets the element directly. I'm not a JavaScript person so I can't tell you how to do that.

PS - If you are using this code to improve your UI, then great. Just don't rely on it to stop people from copying text from your page. In IE, circumventing this is as easy as typing this in address bar:Code:window.onload = function () { document.body.onselectstart = function () { return false; } document.body.ondragstart = function () { return false; } }
Code:javascript:void(document.body.onselectstart=null);void(document.body.ondragstart=null);
Thank you Dan/ Jim for your replies...
Jim, that was exactly what I was looking for but I am using that script to stop people from copying and I know that it is not reliable. But still the vast majority of the visitors who may not be that tech savvy will not get it.
Thanks again!
