JavaScript. HTML can't do anything programmatically, it is only a
markup language. View Source.

You can't. You can try, but anyone who knows anything will be able to
circumvent whatever measure you put into place, and in the process you
will annoy any visitors who want to use the right click menu for *any*
reason - e.g. to bookmark your page so they can return later.

And Macs don't have a right mouse button.

hon123456,

You should be aware that if you actually do disable a right click, you
will prevent users of Gekko-based browsers from easily opening links on
your site in a new browser tab, rather than an entirely new window.

Most of them will not like this and therefore will avoid your site.

Not everyone uses JavaScript. Not everyone has a right mouse button. Browsers
differ and so does their functionality.

Quoted because it's worth repeating. Good answer.
