Are there detailed instructions online to help me make a photo website I am putting together reject right clicks? Don't want people saving my images and stealing my photos. Have tried a utility but it confused me to no end.

Can't be done. The right click is processed at the user's machine and not on the website. And there is no way your web server can distinguish read-to-display from read-to-save. Indeed, they are the same; when the user right clicks, your picture is already in their ram.

Yes, there are many out there. Here are some examples to insert into your code: http://www.brownielocks.com/stopcopying.html I haven't seen any that are 100% because of the all the different browsers and versions of each out there but at least you can make it more difficult. Of course using a 'copyright' mark also helps, especially if it's one of those flashing ones.

I find my previous answer was wrong: I came across this sneaky idea (and its workaround): "Flickr has a really annoying protection against downloading pictures from their site using the right click menu of your browser. They streched a 1×1 transparent pic over the picture you would like to download, so if you right click on the picture, you actually right click on the transparent overlay."

I don't have a clue how I would even do that. It's a fantastic idea and I thank you for telling me. But do you happen to know how it would be done?

Copy and paste this code into the html for the page: <script language="JavaScript"> // distributed by http://hypergurl.com <!-- var popup="Sorry, right-click is disabled.nnThis Site Copyright ©2000"; function noway(go) { if (document.all) { if (event.button == 2) { alert(popup); return false; } } if (document.layers) { if (go.which == 3) { alert(popup); return false; } } } if (document.layers) { document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN); } document.onmousedown=noway; // --> </script>

You can disable the right click with clever Javascript/div tricks, as outlined in the other answers, but if someone wants to steal a photo they can just do a screengrab and paste it into their imaging software, bypassing all your right-click securities.
