Guest Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Just saw an update to this contrib, and when I tested it out the problem was true. Does anyone know how to fix this? This is an excellent contribution except for one thing. I never used Mozilla/Firefox before the 1.0 release. Afterwards I had a customer complain he wasn't able to enter anything into a textbox, tested it myself. I just thought it was a general problem with the commerce software, but found out recently that it was the contrib. I don't understand the code and did a search in the forums to find nothing. I believe it has to do with the no highlight of text/pictures which disables the textbox also in Mozilla. If anybody knows how to fix this, please post an updated version here. You can't highlight or enter text into boxes in firefox/mozilla. Granted many ppl still just use IE. I really don't want to cut out potential customers. Any help would be great! Thanks! RW Quote
mhormann Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 My strong opinion on things like this is: STAY AWAY. BECAUSE YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL. STAY AWAY. FROM YOUR STORE. And, hey, it's always easy to copy stuff nevertheless, if you want to. The only 'good' I can see in this contrib is that it claims to make the nasty 'image toolbar' on IE go away—but that should just not be in the BROWSER in the first place. It goes on everyones nerves. Believe me, if you start doing stuff like that, you'll lose more customers than you would lose by somebody copying a line of text or an image. I myself, for instance, just HATE it when web sites start (trying) to mess around with my browser, like changing size, defining window positions or deciding FOR ME which toolsbars and panes I have to use. This should just not be possible. Basta. Typical result: I just go away, try to set everything back to what I want in my browser, waste time on that, build up some hate against the web site and DEFINITELY never come back—be their offer as good as anything. And you can't imagine how many frustrated customers have called me for help because websites have made their browser's address or navigation bar vanish and things like that. Better focus on making your customers say "Wow!" instead of making them angry. Letting both sides win is they key, I feel...

boxtel Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Right Click scripts can be considered illegal under the Disability Discrimination Act. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> in firefox you can disable this disabling anyway so why bother, waste of code Quote Treasurer MFC
berkedam Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 "Prevent right click" scripts are useless anyway, once the source is visible on screen it is for the taking. Quote "If you're working on something new, then you are necessarily an amateur."
Guest Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Thank you all for your input on this. I have removed the coding, and just finished adding watermarks to my images. I hate to do it, but given the responses here it seems to be the best choice. Thank you all, and Happy New Year!

Top_Speed Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 just finished adding watermarks to my images If it's images you want to watermark, there is a very nice Contrib called "crimages" that overlays text onto the picture at each request for the large pic. I have it working on one of my sites HERE if you want to check it out. Notice the thumbs do not get overlayed. Just my 2cents! KJ Quote define('PROJECTS', 'Something that goes on forever!');
Guest Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Top Speed, Thanks for the info, I am also currently testing out another option to see if it will work as well. Thank you for the great tip!
