Disable image right-click by capturing oncontextmenu.

Bypass by
- disabling JavaScript temporarily
- using a browser that doesn't support oncontextmenu

Javascript is usually used to add functionality to a site, when
javascript is used to disable functionality, it becomes an annoyance.

<script type="text/javascript">
function annoyance1(e)
{
var elm=e.target||e.srcElement;
if(elm.tagName.toLowerCase()=='img')
{
if(e.target)
{
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
}
else if(e.srcElement)
{
e.returnValue=false;
}
alert('WARNING:\n¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ \nWe have determined that right clicking '+
'on images\nmay lead to unnecessary ware on your mouse.\n\nWe wou'+
'ld like to encourage you to save your mouse.\n\nBy avoiding right clic'+
'king images in the future, you may\nprevent the extinction of your m'+
'ouse.\n\nThis message was brought to you by your friendly\nneighbor'+
'hood webmaster.');
}
}
if(window.attachEvent)
{
document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu',annoyance1);
}
else if(window.addEventListener)
{
document.addEventListener('contextmenu',annoyance1,null);
}
</script>
