Yes, you can make it so uses can not right click, but you can't make it so they can't save your image. A few other ways they could get your image are by saving the whole page, getting the image out of their temp folder, taking a screen shot, etc... Your best bet would be to just put a watermark on the images.

A watermark is a semitransparent layer that you overlay over your image. Take a look at http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/paintshoppro/ht/pspwatermark.htm

So, how do you make images un-savable?

Insert this code into the <Body> section of your page:

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--

//Disable right click script

var message="";
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers)
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
// -->
</script>

...but all the user needs to do is to disable Javascript and that code is useless.

Bottom line, as was stated above, is that you CAN'T prevent someone from downloading the pic if they want it. All you can do is alter the pic itself to make it less desireable, such as using Photoshop to add a watermark to it.

I was responding to the follwoing question by Dennic:

Just wondering if i put an image onto a webpage, can i make it so that users cannot right click on the image and save it?

Quite clearly if a user knows how to disable Javascript then it is more than likely they will also know how to save your picture.

But that wasn't the question was it ??

:confused:
