problem with keypress (in jquery) with IE

$(document).keypress(function(key) {
    if (key.which == 99 && key.metaKey == true) {
        alert("Don't Copy");
        return false;
    }
});

It doesn't work !

How can I fix it ?

I think you want to check the status of ctrlKey to block Ctrl + C:

$(document).keydown(function(key) {
    if (key.which == 67 && key.ctrlKey) {
        alert("Don't Copy");    
        return false;           
    }                           
});

It does work on all major browsers (FF4b7, IE 8), but not entirely correct in Chrome 8: although the alert pops up, the copy-to-clipboard behaviour is not suppressed.

That said, if you want to prevent the user from copying your texts to the clipboard, I'll have to disappoint you: someone can simply use the (context) menu option or view your page's source. There's nothing that you can do about that.

why keypress?

$('*').bind('copy',function(key) {
    alert("Don't Copy");
    return false;
});
