Safari Browser Disable Control + Click

[Sven]

I would like to disable the ability of the user hold control and click
and get the dropdown menu. I am ultimately discouraging users from
easily getting a copy of the image. I was able to do this and disable
dragging on all browsers I have tested except Safari (Mac).

For a copy of the javascript that has worked so far on everything
minus Safari please go here:

Well, you can't.

People that want to take your material will do it. There is nothing you
can do to stop them. All you accomplish by breaking the basic
functionality afforded to user agents is the frustration of your users.

Let me repeat that to make it clear: determined thieves will not be
stopped, and you'll only hurt legitimate users.

There are only a few practical approaches you can take:

1) Don't place the material on the Web in the first place.

2) Place intrusive watermarks on the images, or drastically reduce the
quality of the material so no-one has any desire to take it.

3) Openly pursue legal action if you can determine that the thief is
governed by international or local law that forbids the theft of
copyrighted material.
I was able to do this and disable dragging on all browsers I have tested
except Safari (Mac).

I can promise you it will fail on all my browsers (except IE). Even if it
didn't, I could *easily* obtain the images and source code for your page.

I was refering to the right-click blocker. :P

Whilst that will work with IE[1], it still wouldn't stop me. Print screen
is just one of the ways...

[1] Hopefully Microsoft will again make steps to catch up with the
functionality provided by Opera and Mozilla. Namely, being able to stop
scripts from receiving right-clicks so the context menu cannot be disabled.

Sure, but it was way funnier when I took that
completely out of context. ;)

No you didn't, you just think you did.

Are you positive about that?

I say I can right click, get the menu, and all on a default installation
of IE6 SP2. What say you?
