Could anyone tell me if there is a code to prevent someone of using his mouse right side button on a specific web page?

There is no code in the world that would ever prevent someone from pressing the right mouse button +click+ BUT you can prevent someone from gettin an applications (i.e. IE) context menu when they press the right button.
Something like the following sure is not fool proof but should prevent the majority of your users to get a context menu:
(you don't have to give the a message box, you can take that out so nothing happens when they right click)
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var message="Ouch!";
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>

Copy this Java Script into the head of the html
Hope this helps
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!-- Begin
var message="Sorry but I can not let you copy or save!!";
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;
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

Just out of curiousity, why would you want to prevent a user from using a feature they're used to?

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Well in fact, it is not for my own site. It's for my wife’s personal site. She didn't want the people to be able to cut and paste her family pictures that she put on her site. As for myself, I would rather let the people use this feature, but if that what she wants.

If someone wants the picture really bad there is not so much you can do about it and if it is to make a screenshot and crop it out. There has been a lengthy thread about it some time ago, though to sum up, if someone wants your wifes picture as their desktop bg there is not much you can do about it unless taking the pics offline.
