How to disable 'save image as' option on right click? [duplicate]

Answer 1

$("body").on("contextmenu", "img", function(e) {
  return false;
});

This is the "new" way in jQuery. Bear in mind anyone with technical knowledge would be able to get around this.

Answer 2

Use the image as a background-image of a div element, This will keep the easy minded people away from saving it ;)

Answer 3

<script type="text/javascript">
function click (e) {
  if (!e)
    e = window.event;
  if ((e.type && e.type == "contextmenu") || (e.button && e.button == 2) || (e.which && e.which == 3)) {
    if (window.opera)
      window.alert("");
    return false;
  }
}
if (document.layers)
  document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown = click;
document.oncontextmenu = click;
</script>

I have found this script on selfhtml.org.

This function is originally designed to disable the client side context menu and to insert your own context menu. But it can be used for this too.

But keep in mind: By using browser addons like NoScript or opening the image url user could get around this.
