How to disable the right mouse button on images (Opera)

[Lijun Yang]

Hey, I am able to disable the right mouse button on images for netscape
and IE but it won't work for Opera.

Here is the code:

// start of the code

var clickmessage="Sorry, you don't have permission to right-click."

function protectImages () {
if (document.all)
document.oncontextmenu=disableclick
else if (document.getElementById)
document.oncontextmenu=disableclick
else if (document.layers)
associateimages()
}

function disableclick(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.srcElement.tagName=="IMG"){
alert(clickmessage);
return false;
}
}
else if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(clickmessage);
return false;
}
}
else if (document.getElementById){
if (e.target.tagName=="IMG"){
alert(clickmessage)
return false
}
}
}

function associateimages(){
for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++)
document.images.onmousedown=disableclick;
}

// end of code ----

My question is:

How do I make the code work for Opera 7.x?

Thanks in advance.

Good. That is one of the reasons I like Opera.

var clickmessage="Sorry, you don't have permission to right-click."

My reply to getting a message like that, would be ... not printable in
a public forum.

Give up. Whatever you are trying to do, it won't work against anybody
with half a clue. If you don't want people to save your images, don't
put them on the web.

You are not supposed to be able to interfere with my browsers
interface.
If you find a way, please tell us, so we can have the bug fixed.

You're only annoying your own visitors and users. In Netscape and IE,
you're preventing them from accessing 11 menu item commands in Netscape
and Mozilla-based browsers and 17 menu items commands from the context
menu; only 1 of these commands is about saving the image.

There are at least 3 different ways to copy images besides the right
click. Nothing you do here can nor will prevent them from copying your
images.

My point is not whether I will annoy visitor or not, but whether I can
do it or not technically with Opera.

The answer to that was no. With an attached "luckily".
