There is nothing you can do to total protect your images. There are many ways to turn right click off, using javascript.

Best way I've found is to use the right click menu builder extension, aavilable from the macromedia website

Left click hold then move mouse and then right click gets round most disabling techniques so what can you do?? Live long and make your kids suffer..

If you are really worried about your images I would recommend that you take advantage of Digimarc's digital watermarking utility. It is built into photoshop and has a wide range of options as far as pricing. They also have a program that tracks the downloads of your images.

I don't know if it will help you out but they are

Hope that helps

If you're images are incorporated with text and such then this will help, even if the person does: File -> Save As (2 save the whole page), it wont work...
I use this on my website (

<script>
var message=&quot;Copyright 1998-2000, 2001 by GUJUm0deL. All rights reserved.&quot;;
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>

Put this on top of all webpages or on a .js file and just import it...

I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

Hey Folks,

Though there are indeed several ways of disabling the right mouse click button, you will find that allot of people use the right-mouse button as it was designed (for example for the functions: Back, Forward, Create Shortcut, Add to Favorites, print & refresh).
The people on the other hand who want to lift your images, usually will be people who are IT-literate enough to just lift the images from the 'Temporary Internet Files' IE so nicely keeps for us.

So in other words, though it is possible to block the right mouse button, one can still find the code (and so the addresses to manually download the images), and the actual viewed images from the 'Temporary Internet Files'. So you are actually crippling the experience for the person just trying to use your site, and not actually achieving anything.
We never fail, we just find that the path to succes is never quite what we thought...

or you can just run your mouse and hilight and image then press ctrl+c and copy it.....there is nothing on the web that can be protected
sleep is good

All images and all text on your webpage (including js files) are downloaded into your visitors' Temporary Internet Files folder located (in Win9x) in C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files. There is absolutely NOTHING you can do to change this. Users have to download all of your images to their computer in order to view your webpages. Javascript might stop some of the more ignorant users, but if your images are very theft prone and you post them to the internet, then someone else will pilfer them.

Instead of you counting on having a monopoly of your images, you might want to try coming up with material that will keep visitors coming back. That's what really works for webmasters.

Thank you for your time,
