right click disabling on a picture

<script language="JavaScript">
function click() {
if (event.button==2) {
alert('Hey, leave my images alone!');
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
// -->
</script>


this coding works fine for my index.html page where all my thumbnail pictures are.

When a user clicks on one of these thumbnail pictures, the picture loads the large version. But when the large picture is on screen, the user can right click on it.

How can I prevent the user from right clicking on the large picture (because that’s the one I need protecting really!)


ie.. how do i disable right clicking on this picure?

Make it, instead of loading the large version, open another HTML document with the JavaScript you posted above and then with an img tag with the large image.

Remember, though, there are still several ways to get the image, most of which you can't stop.

 

You are wasting your time trying to prevent the right-click. That won't help at all. There are lots of other ways to get the pic(s), not to mention that some browsers can be set so that javascript doesn't affect the right-click function.

As always said before, if we can see it, we can get it. Most n00bies can get around the right-click anyway. It's not gonna help you at all. What if the visitor has javascript turned off? etc. etc.

 

ye, fair enough. you could even do a "print screen"
thanks anyway
