A quick google search for "right click disable" should return quite a few samples as well as a bunch of reasons not to do it. In every case I've seen it's javascript that prevents the right click. If I need to save something that has right click disabled, I can simply turn off javascript. I can also dig through my browser cache for the image.
Basically, disabling right click is only going to prevent casual downloading of your images. It's not a deterrent at all for someone who really wants your pictures. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
