>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>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.

>I don't have another browser installed (I should probably). But I suspect that the people who designed the site use the approach that will work in every browser. The thing is they do not intercept the right mouse click (as I see all other items on the right-mouse click menu). But the items like Save Picture and Save Target As are missing (and not even grayed).

If you grab this thing: http://www.admuncher.com/ ...it has some settings that you can set that will prevent websites from disabling certain mouse events and a series of other things I described in an eariler post. There are supposdely some cases where it doesn't work of course....anyway they have a free 30day trial. There are other things you can do but this app is actually a pretty cool little gizmo....
