disable right click on specific text field in javascript

Would like to disable right click or Ctrl C on a specific text field which is set to 'readonly'.

The value of this field is expected to be typed into another field without being copied and pasted.

Here is what I"ve:

<input onfocus="disableCaptchaCopy();" id="capId" type="text" value="<?php echo $gen_c; ?>" name="gen_c" readonly="readonly" />

Javascript function:

function disableCaptchaCopy() { 
    var capField = document.getElementsById(capId); 
    if (capField != null) {  
        field.oncut = function() { return false; }; 
    } 
}

Would be please if anyone could help out.

Not entirely valid but works in various different browsers including the latest versions of Firefox, IE and Chrome:

<input type="text" name="field" onpaste="return false" />

This doesn't prevent your text being copied, but it does prevent it being pasted into the subsequent field.
