    Can't copy content of some sites

    Hello,

    First time i have come across something new in text based website, i observe that we can't copy any a single words content from those websites pages? I'm not able to copy the pages of some sites. I tried to "copy to" copy / paste and capture / paste in winpad. My browser is Explorer 7.0.

    Can you name the sites with which you facing this issues? Have you installed any addons in IE? if you have installed the addons in IE then disable them for a while and restart your IE, is it makes any difference?

    It could be because of special customer designs of those websites, like you can't copy contents of falsh websites, eve flash website won't allow you to select any text. There are many features have develop to protect website content to be copied by others.

    Is there an easier way to copy a page to your hard drive (without pictures). Just go to File (or "File" in Netscape in Portuguese), click on "Save As" ( "Save As") and choose the desired location. The Microsoft Internet Explorer also has this feature. This is very useful, especially when dealing with pages of technical content or even educational.

    • In IE go to Tools -> Internet Options and In the Security tab click on Custom.

    • Scroll down and look for "Drag and Drop or Copy and Paste Files" be sure the radial button for enable is checked.
