Disable Right-click hack

Hi,

I am looking for a good "Disable Right-click menu" that works on both Firefox and IE. I prefer the ones that gives a menu when the user right-clicks as supposed to a sorry message ...

Thanks,

I won't belabor the subject because it's been duscussed so many times before, but those scripts are relatively useless since you can select View Source from the menu. But, to each his own ....

Also a site with no right clk...cant open link in new window...I have a personal hate with such sites, I dont think they do anything for a site being user friendly and therefore popularity.
There are some good content nuke sites that have no right clk, they reach a piont of popularity then tend to level out and drop...less posts, membership rates reduce.
If the issue of pic theift is a worry...
We have a gallery, yes pics appear on other sites /forums often without permission asked, but in 99% of the cases, they have provided a link to our site, the watermark is on the pic, and from the referers tables this creates more visits to us, membership, content....And links for search engines for better ratings. Its a +ve trade off.
At the end of the day, a pic can still be recovered from the Tmp internet files

There are soo many ways to bypass those kind of scripts. The easiest is just disable Javascript.

It won't deter a determined thief, it will only inconvience your normal users who use right click for other functions (opening in a new window/tab, etc)

I agree with ohters too. I hade this script on my site for a time ago. Users couldn't get/copy the codes I or someone else wrote in the forums because of it. So I took it away.

I just knew that nukescriptes had one and because you asked for I gave you the url Neutral
