  Hi
  Can I inactivate the ‘right click’ function on an image in a webpage, to stop people copying images to their computer. I only want images to be viewed, not copied, as copyright exists on many of them. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Disabling right click which is available only on the Monotone and Duotone themes here> However, be aware that it simply provides a false sense of security. It is so easy to bypass that sort of thing, or simply do a screen capture that it can be defeated in sceonds flat and the instructions for defeating it are posted all over the web. Bottom line: If you do not want your images to be stolen then do not put them on the internet.
