Introduction:
In Oracle APEX, restricting right-click and shortcut keys can improve security and control user interactions. Disabling these features prevents unauthorized access to browser tools, sensitive data, and unintended actions, ensuring a more streamlined and secure user experience. This topic explores the methods to implement these restrictions effectively within an APEX application.
Why Do We Need It:
- Improve Security:Reduce the risk of users performing unauthorized actions, such as copying content or altering page elements.
- Control User Interaction:Ensure users follow the intended workflow and minimize accidental actions that could disrupt the user experience.
- Enhance Application Integrity:Avoid unwanted interactions that could lead to unintended results or security vulnerabilities.
How do we solve:
Step 1: Create a Dynamic action
Select event = page load
Step 2: Create a javascript code
$(document).on(“contextmenu”, function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
Now the Short keys won’t appear in the page.
Conclusion:
Disabling right-click and shortcut keys in Oracle APEX plays a key role in securing your application and ensuring a controlled user experience. It helps protect sensitive information, prevent unauthorized actions, and guide users through the intended flow of the application. While it’s important to strike a balance between security and usability, applying these restrictions can significantly improve the overall integrity of the application and minimize potential vulnerabilities.
