No text marking and ctrl C ctrl V?

Hello!

I use very often a website of a library.
But, the site has a special protection lately.
I can't use the text mark and after the ctrl C ctrl V (clipboard) function of the browser. I tried FF, IE, Opera, Chrome-none of them can save the text.
If I press ctrl C or ctrl A, or try mark the text-happens nothing.
Current, I use an OCR software to bypass the protection, but, the OCR is very slow.
Exist any special trick to bypass this protection?


Thanks

To get help, you should try to address more than the mind readers in these forums.
Most of us are not able to read peoples mind, so you will probably have to tell us at least what site you have problems with,
so that we can try replicating your problems.

ok, but the web page is a hungarian language page.
I give step by step instructions, to discover the protection.
TL=translate (hungarian-english)

visit www.antikvarium.hu (a simple webshop)
click: Részletes kereső (TL: advanced search)
type in Könyv címe (TL: book title) field: Csillagászat (tl: astronomy, but this is only an example)
you will see the results
click the first (only example)
you will the a product datasheet (picture, text, price etc)
click in the datasheet page: Tartalom (tl: content) or Fülszöveg (tl: blurb)

and final, try drop the text to the clipboard with right click or with ctrl C. Impossible. No image, only pure text.
Please give me an idea!


Thanks

I can confirm the behavior you're describing. As a work-around, you can click the bar of the pop-up window and click "inspect element" then you'll be able to select the text elements and select things fro there.

I would be interested in finding out how to disable this problem.

If you want the picture, click on the picture, not "Tartalom" . This will open the picture in a dialog of its own.
I was able to copy the picture this way. There is no picture in the "Tartalom" dialog.
I could not either copy anything from the Tartalom dialog. Some html experts could probably tell you why, I can not.

The first result gets me to this page. Clicking Tartalom gets me a popup that I can't select with the mouse in, but clicking then hitting Ctrl-A selected the text.

Too long to paste the whole thing, but it did work.

Generally speaking (since I can tell you'd ask), Opera doesn't copy "rich text". It copies only plain unformatted text or images (not together with text), and you have to use the mouse to copy an image. Also note, Opera 10.5x does allow web sites to read context menu events - previous versions did not - if you can select text but then can't get a context menu you may have to disable this feature (under Preference > Advanced > Content, Javascript Options).

Thanks for help!
The disabling of Javascript is the good solution.
