I have a large gallery of pics and some are unique, whilst I dont mind people using them I prefer them to ask first.

Is there a way that if someone right clicks on them I can protect them as I have found on some other sites? (Not that I was trying to nick their pics !) I dont realy want to watermark them.

The only real protection is watermarking your images.

The reality is once I view an image on your website, theres already a full copy of it in the browser cache for me to use. If I dont want to go wandering in the browser cache then I can just view the page source and get the url of the image. Or I can start up Opera which wont let you disable right click at all. So I can steal away to my hearts content. Its essentially false security.
All you're really doing is annoying people who legitimately want to use the context menu,

Hi Dograt,
if you use Picassa 3 the google associated image programme - which is free - there is an option to place a watermark on your pics before uploading them. I haven't tried that yet but it's a brilliant bit of software.
Sorry, I didn't read your post properly.
