Re: images on the internet

    Hi Satch,
    Here is a javascript I've used in the past:
<script language="JavaScript">

<!--
// No rightclick script v.2.5
//
//
// Don't delete this header!

var message="Sorry, right-clicking is disabled to help protect our
copyrights. All contents Copyright 1999, 2000  - Paul Angel. Any
unauthorized copying, duplication, or distribution is strictly prohibited.";
// Message for the alert box

// Don't edit below!

function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// -->

</script>

As the others pointed out, this is just a deterrent for folks that don't
know alot about computers. It also eliminates the use of right-clicking to
add to favorites. You can also split the image into smaller peices, but that
dosen't eliminate the screen capture. Your client will just have to be happy
with the limitations, unless they want to spend *alot* of money for
software.
HTH,
