Indeed. If you use Firefox all you need is to select Tools > PageInfo > Media and save whatever you want.

Don't know if this still works with newer browsers but:
quite often you can hold down the left mouse button and right right click before releasing the left button.
Javascript doesn't always catch the right click event then as its already dealing with the left mouse button.

Not a good idea - web images (well JPEGS at least) use lossy compression, therefore performing a screen grab and saving that as a JPEG would potentially reduce the quality of the image.

Or if you use Firefox get an extension called Web Developer 1.1.4.

You then click on the disable drop down, select javascript and all done.

Repeat the process to re-enable it

1. Click Print Screen key
2. Run MSPaint
3. Paste
4. Save as desired format.

Doh !

Paintshop Pro and the like also have screen capture software, plus there are plenty of free screen grab tools on the next.

However, my solution is the most expedient and more importantly, free.

Hmm, in my browser (Safari) it goes like this:-

1) Command-, (to open preferences) -> Security -> Untick Enable Javascript
2) Right click -> Save as
3) Command-, -> Security -> Enable Javascript

I need to save an image from a website but when I right click it, a pop-up box advises me that right-click has been disabled on images.

Anyone know of a way to get around this?

If there are many, you can use WGET (google it) which is really neat for that sort of stuff.

Disable javascript in your browser. Right-click and save as normal.

Like it, thanks CB.
(Obvious really, if you think about it. Note to self: Try engaging brain!)

They wouldnt have been local path names - otherwise they wouldnt have loaded. I think you mean relative path names - which still worked otherwise your browser wouldnt have loaded the images.

All you do is append the www.domain.tld onto the front as applicable.

Doh, that's what I meant - apologies.

Thanks for the heads up, handy to know.

Gave the source a quick look over but couldn't find the image in there.

On that note, the image filenames that were in there, only had local path names so how could I have saved those If I wanted to?

Could also look at the page source and load the picture directly.
