I would like to protect the content of my web-site pages. Does anyone know how to disable the 'File->Save As' command on a web-browser.

Sorry that's not possible with Javascript.
If you want to protect images, watermark them.

Heya, Blackmore.
The problem with what you are asking is that in order for your browser to view an image, it has to first download the file and save it into your browser's cache folder!
So even if you could disable the 'Save As' command (which could be bypassed simply by turning off JavaScript anyway!), a determined thief could still grab the image from his browser cache.
As Acoder mentioned, the only reliable method for protecting your images is to watermark them, or else to only provide a low-quality preview version.

To be honest, I want to be able to protect just about everything on my website, including the html content of my pages. Therefore, I want to be able to prevent users from saving the webpage on there hard discs.
I have seen some websites that appear to disable the 'Save As' command on a browser and I want to include this feature on mine.

Heya, Blackmore.
You may want to consider using encrypted PDFs that allow the User to view, but not edit, the contents.
Attempting to 'secure' HTML is simply not a realistic goal, due to the nature of the beast. Your code has to get sent in an open format that any browser can read, and even if you could disable the 'save as' command (which I guarantee you would ONLY work in Internet Explorer anyway), anybody could circumvent your safeguards by disabling JavaScript, pulling the data straight from the cache, using cURL... just to name the three ideas that came to mind most quickly.
I think you really need to rethink your delivery model. If you want to protect your content, then you need to deliver it via a protected medium.

Hello,
I've recently noticed that someone can simply type in the URL to my

an auto-save dialog pops up to let them save it !

Hi. What's the best way to display an image, disabling the user's ability
to right-click on it?
I believe you have to use <body oncontextmenu="return false">. Would the
following work?
var x = "<head><\/head><body oncontextmenu="return false"><img
src='temp.jpg' border=0><\/body>"
top.document.open()

Does not work, as it is still clickable. It only changes the color to grey.

I'd like to prevent the user from being able to bypass certain error

now running in A2K or subsequent versions.
Is it possible to disable the use of hotkey combinations such as
