If you search google for it, you'll have many options to choose from. It's a JavaScript script. Some are better than others (in what browsers they work on), but none work on every browser and all can be disabled by disabling JavaScript (user control).
I've used one of these scripts before at a client's insistance but really, there are just so many other ways to grab a graphic from a web page. You can simply drag it off the page for example.
In addition, I've noticed an annoying little feature of IE6 where a set of options actually pops up in the corner of the image (save, print, email, set as wallpaper, etc) that requires no rightclicking.

I would have to agree with taff. There are simply too many ways to get the graphics off a page that an annoying little javascript alert will simply make the 'image thief' more determined to get the image!
So many ways to slow down the process (if you can call it that) but nothing fool proof, best way is to cut the image up and display in a table, sure they can stick them all together again, but if its a .jpg the image gets compressed again when saved and becomes fuzzed, more saving, more fuzz (but there are ways around that too lol)
It is funny how people try to hide the view source. I have seen them put a lot of them use frames or put a lot of space at the top of their HTML. Worthless pursuit.

I did that once with a message at the top saying something like "ummm now you broke it and wiped all my code" and I had a girl email me to say sorry for breaking it

Getting more pointless all the time.

Thanks for that Suzanne! Now is there a way to shut it off at the browser end?

Oh, yes, it can be turned off from the user side as well. It only activates for larger images (I think it's 300x300+?) anyway, but it can be annoying.
http://www.ieinfosite.co.uk/tip_view.asp?id=204 explains that you just rightclick on the damn thing and choose disable.

Thanks

Hi,
Since I personally hate noRightClick scripts, I thought I'd post this thread

LOL!
I particularly liked this:
"...if you need to ask how to do it, I seriously doubt if you can write any code that hasn't already been written by someone else."
