How to keep images from being copied from website

I have a script that I got from another site that disables the right click
context menu. That works great until the user clicks on a thumbnail and the
larger picture displays in a new window. How do I disable "right click"
functionality in new windows? BTW, I'm not using Frames. Everything under
the Frames dropdown is grayed out. Is there a way to have the larger image
display on the same page instead of going to a new window? Thanks.
 
Disabling right-click is the equivalent of hanging a sign around your web
site's "neck" which reads "Hack me. My author knows nothing" (Not that you
DO know nothing, but that's what it seems to imply, as disabling right-click
DOES nothing). Show me your web site, and I'll get around the right-click
stuff in 5 seconds, with one hand (and half my brains) tied behind my back.
I would go into greater detail, but the subject has been exhaustively
ccovered on this NG and most of us are exhausted from hearing it.

There is ONE method to prevent people from copying your images: Don't
publish them.

You can't add any thing to the large image display, since it is not a page, just the browser default
window.

Yes, there is. And, if you devoted as much time to exploring the techniques
that would make that possible, instead of wating your time on bogus
functionality, you would know how to do it.

PS - What exactly are you are trying to accomplish by hijacking your
visitors' hardware?

simple answer : you cannot.

Everytime a web page is visited it is downloaded to the visitor's computer, to
the web cache. IF they know where to look they can find the image.

The disabled right-click functions can be worked around - they are not foolproof.

You also disable about 60% of the browser's functions by disabling the right
click menu since it has more on it than just "Save Image As....".

I use this context menu all the time.

this topic has been discussed to death....let it rest in peace.
