Stop 'right-click' on photos?

How do I create a code to keep someone from copying/saving a picture with a
right-click? [Though I do realize that a screen shot will still copy the
graphics]

You can not do this. There are too many alternatives to using right
click to defeat any of them. Also FireFox, used by nearly a quarter
of all internet users, will automatically block no-right-click
scripts.

And it may have fooled you, but it won't fool anyone even modestly
experienced in circumventing such things. Besides as soon as you see the
image in your browser, you already have a copy of it in your browser cache.

One quarter of all Internet users!? Realizing that it's extremely difficult
to get accurate stats on such matters, all of the numbers I've seen show
Firefox to be below 10%.

Well, Jim, unless Microsoft gets on the ball with the next version of IE
SOON, that is going to change! I have tried Firefox, and find it
disturbingly excellent!

The feature-set that Firefox has above and beyond IE is limited. Most
people move to Firefox because they claim that IE is full of security bugs
that are not present in Firefox. The latest Firefox fiasco with a severe
security bug that wasn't fixed for quite a while refutes that theory.

Download the MSN toolbar and you'll have tabbed browsing now in IE. The
next version of IE improves on this feature. Microsoft always catches up
with a vengeance.
