When websites try to be clever by disabling right click in hope that will stop people snooping around their content, I get really annoyed.
Everyone can bypass even the ones that claim to be bypass proof.
They can either use the browsers context menus to view the pages source.
Download the page and view links to images, which they can view directly and save them.
The easiest way to avoid this hassle when a site does this is to change what javascript is allowed to do to your browser.
If your using Firefox (http://i-conica.net/download/browsers-plugins/firefox/firefox.htm)
* Click tools
* Click Options
* Click the Content Tab
* Where Javascript is checked, Click Advanced
* Uncheck "Disable or replace context menus"
I'd uncheck all the others while I'm there. But that's down to you.
For IE users: (naughty) Use Firefox (http://i-conica.net/download/browsers-plugins/firefox/firefox.htm) (wink)
If any web masters are wanting to disable right click on their pages, maybe to deliberately annoy people, Use this:

Between your head tags.
It's the most bullet proof off all methods but won't survive the above bypass! (wink)
If your wondering why that code is an image and not copy and paste text it's just to annoy you a little! (wink)

all I used to do was hold down the left button then hit the right and let go, it comes up ;P

There are lots of scripts that work slightly differently to avoid the right click context menu, If that trick of yours works, well done. But it won't work for the tiny snippet of code seen above... ;)
