Hi there
I have loaded my pictures on the website but i don't want anyone to save my pictures without my permission.... i see that "Save Target" has been dissabled but the "Save Picture" hasn't been dissabled... they can still save it..... how can i stop them from saving my pictures?

That's a feature of the visitor's browser. How could we possibly remove that? You just discovered the principle how the www works: if a visitors can see your page's content, he already has the content on his PC's hard disk. What could keep him from saving that where he wants to? Nothing.
There's a load of silly no-right-click gimmicks that will prevent users from right-clicking, but those gimmicks are just silly.
My recommendation: don't publish your stuff on the internet if you're afraid that it might get stolen. Watermark it to discourage thieves.
Your original request (disabling particular context menu items from the visitor's browser) is impossible.

no need to be sarcastic about the question... and there is a way you can do it.

OK, if you know of a way to accomplish this, then please share your insight with others who might have questions similar to yours.
