Disable Right-Click In A Survey

Important Update to Custom Scripting

SurveyGizmo's CustomScript Action now supports the LUA programming language. Visit our NEW Lua Scripting Resources!

Legacy Custom Scripting Language Deprecation Plans 

  1. New accounts (created after October 29, 2018) will only have the option to use Lua in scripts.
  2. As of October 29, 2018 Custom Scripting Actions will default to Lua as the scripting type in the Custom Scripting Action for accounts created before this date. You will be able to switch to the Legacy Custom Scripting; though we highly encourage using Lua.
  3. In the long term, Legacy Custom Scripting Actions will be switched to read-only. The exact date on this is to be determined; we will send notifications well ahead of time.

There might be an instance where you want to disable the right-click functionality in a survey. If so, here's a quick piece of JavaScript you can use! Please note that respondents could still use keyboard shortcuts or menu options, this will only disable the right-click option.

Click Add New Action > JavaScript. Paste the following code into the editor.

$(function(){ 
document.addEventListener("contextmenu", function(e){ 
e.preventDefault(); 
}, false); })

Test it out on a live link and you won't be able to right-click!

Scripting and Other Out-of-the-Box Customizations

We’re always happy to help you debug any documented script. That said, we do not have the resources to write scripts on demand.

If you have customization ideas that you haven't figured out how to tackle, we're happy to be a sounding board for SurveyGizmo features and functionality ideas that might meet your customization. Beyond this, you might want to consult with someone on our Programming Services Team; these folks might have the scripting chops to help you to achieve what you are looking for!
