This is with reference to using the javascript to disable the right click
thus discouraging the user from picking off the image or graphic directly
from the webpage.

According to me a person who really wants this image must have that much of
knowledge that turning off the java scipt in his browser will allow him to
save it.

I havent checked it out but  when we select the save webpage option in IE;
it copies the webpage in "mydocuments" and creates a seperate folder of the
same name inside "mydocuments" containing the images of that page. pretty
convenient dont u think?

however the script is still good enough for the average guy who just knows
how to right click ;)

p.s. it is always easier to ask permission from the author to use his
graphic. Also more often than not a nice email with a few compliments bout
the page gets the job done. worked for me many times.
