This is functionally impossible. In order to display content, a browser must download it. If you don't want it copied, don't publish it on the Web.

re-nesting your top-post

did you looked at the link i given above

Yes. This is Flash. I can still take screenshots of it while it's running, and even if they kink the screenshot control keys, I can set Grab to do a timed screenshot. When I say functionally impossible, I mean in the face of a sufficiently motivated visitor. If you don't want to share it, don't share it. Don't break the Web.

This is a really very absurd requirement.

What part of "not possible" are you unclear on? Even the Flash files can be scanned and the text extracted - the Learnerstv link you posted shows up in Google searches. More info on that here:

BTW, the original link you've posted also looks like *they're* stealing content:

complete with references (in the next section) to tables in a "text"...

Thanks matt

but if some one is scanning flash and extracting text then its fine just i want to do this

It's really very simple, if you don't want the user to be able to copy text, then just don't ever display it to the user--there is no other solution to your "problem".

The guy is saying that he is fine with the end users taking a screenshot of the page, but he doesn’t want the users to simply copy and paste the text in txt files. I know the requirement is absurd. But, just rephrasing the question for others to have a better idea of what you want.

In my opinion, there is no gem/plugin for anything like this and why should be. You are asking people in the wrong area, this is something that deals with the presentational aspect of the text, so put up the question on HTML, javascript forums.

No. We’re done with this topic. I think the answer has been pretty clear. If you don’t mind people screen capturing the Flash text then use Flash. Every other option, including gems, will give you a text response that can be copied or manipulated even before JavaScript is loaded or in some cases by passing JavaScript totally.

Anything posted to the Internet can be copied. This is why financial institutions do not allow for the posting of certain information to their websites and online banking applications.
