    This would have to be javascript based. Do a search for javascript disable right click.

    Personally, I would recommend against doing this. It can be easily bypassed, and is a usability killer.

    Yup don't waste your time, if anything when i see a website which disables it people make a point of just trying to bypass it.

    As others said disabling "right-click" is not the solution to prevent web users from copying the photos.
    Users can disable javascript and download the photos.

    if you dont want others to download/copy photos, the only option is not to show the photo at all (or watermark the photos).

    I agree that it is a bad idea to disable right-click, it's just annoying and won't save your html.

    The best way would be to overlay your image with a transparent PNG or GIF. If the user was to right click and save the image, they'd only be able to save the transparent gif/png.

    Loading your images in flash can also be one option.

    At the moment, there is nothing you can do against a screenshot.
