    Disabling right mouse button

    Hello, i was on this site and i tried to copy a picture, so as i could put it as my desktop picture.
    And it came up with this icon saying that i could not do that as it had been dissabled.
    And seeing as i am currently building my first web page
    I was wondering if anyone knew of the code for this action........?
    or a website were i could copy the code into my website's source code??
    Cheers and thanks

    function disable_right_click(e) {
    var browser = navigator.appName.substring ( 0, 9 );
    var event_number = 0;
    if (browser=="Microsoft")
    event_number = event.button;
    else
    event_number = e.which;
    if ( event_number==2 || event_number==3 || event_number==4) {
    alert ("Right/middle mousebutton is disabled");
    return (false);
    }
    return (true);
    }
    function check_mousekey () {
    var mouse_key = 93;
    var keycode = event.keyCode;
    if ( keycode == mouse_key )
    alert ( "Mouse Key Is Disabled" );
    }
    function trap_page_mouse_key_events () {
    var browser = navigator.appName.substring ( 0, 9 );
    document.onmousedown = disable_right_click;
    if ( browser == "Microsoft" )
    document.onkeydown = check_mousekey;
    else
    document.captureEvents( Event.MOUSEDOWN );
    }
    I cut and pasted this from a web sit I know that does not allow right mouse clicks.
    I dont know how accurate it is or even if it works, it could be a load of bollocks for all i know, but it might help you.

    if you really want to disable your right mouse button, then do the following:

    a) go to a computer store and buy a mouse that is made by Apple Computers
    b) go home, unplug your mouse and plug in your new Apple mouse
    c) enjoy

    hehe

    You like to fiddle with positive APS huh

    Ok - This one doesnt give you a prompt when you right click and still works when javascript is disabled

    <body oncontextmenu="return false" ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false" scroll="yes">

    I put it in the body section.
