Disable right clicking and image saving

Add the following javascript to the header of your HTML page to disable right clicking. This prevents users from directly saving images from your website. It's not foolproof by any means - users can still screen capture your webpage or use a variety of other means to save your images but it's one more hurdle, at least:


<script language=JavaScript>

var message="Right clicking has been disabled.";

function click(e)

    {

    if (document.all)

        {

        if (event.button == 2)

            {

            alert(message);

            return false;

            }

        }

    if (document.layers)

        {

        if (e.which == 3)

            {

            alert(message);

            return false;

            }

        }

    }

if (document.layers)

    {

    document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);

    }

document.onmousedown=click;

// --> 

</script>

Hi, I just notices that when I hover an image where I used your "Disable right clicking and image saving" option, the "Save Image" button (Latest explorer version) appears and you can still save the image. Regards, MT
