How Do I Disable Copying and Pasting?
Hi,
How would I disable copying and pasting on Qualtrics surveys?
I tried to put this code
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
//Disable full page
$('body').bind('cut copy paste', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
//Disable part of page
$('#id').bind('cut copy paste', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
in the after the Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() part of a specific question, but when I previewed the survey copying and pasting was still possible. Also, can I implement this across the entire survey except for one question somehow?
I've seen this question posted here https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/632/disabling-copying-of-the-survey-and-right-click-functions
but this is not what I'm looking for and it is not sufficient.

Hello @mleipzig ,
Paste the following code in the look and feel -> Advanced -> add custom css
body {
-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}

+39Can you try adding this:
`.noselect {
-webkit-touch-callout: none; /* iOS Safari */
-webkit-user-select: none; /* Safari */
-khtml-user-select: none; /* Konqueror HTML */
-moz-user-select: none; /* Firefox */
-ms-user-select: none; /* Internet Explorer/Edge */
user-select: none; /* Non-prefixed version, currently
supported by Chrome and Opera */
}
<p>
Selectable text.
</p>
<p class="noselect">
Unselectable text.
</p>`
Best Regards, Peeyush
This seems to be what I want, but where should I put this? when I tried to include this as is on javascript and on html part of a question and it didnt work. Javascript code was in orange and html in "html view" just included this as the text

+1Hi! I am trying to do the same (disable pasting on the text entry type of question) but I didn’t understand where the code should be inserted! I couldn’t find “advanced” in the look and feel option. And other than that, is there anything else that should be changed? If you could provide me with a step by step I’d really appreciate it, because I’m very inexperienced with Qualtrics!
Thank you!
