>I was looking at some wedding pictures of a friend of mine (his son) posted by the company that took the photographs. Obviously they don't want people to download pictures but instead buy them. So when you right mouse click on any of the pictures you don't see the option of Save Picture As or Save Target As. How do they technically do it? What is the HTML code for having a picture but no ability for someone to download it?

I don't know for sure, but I would suspect that browser events - like right-click - are intercepted with JavaScript commands. Try it in different browsers - it may be that that code only works with specific browsers. You may also be able to turn off JavaScript, in the browser options.
