hi flavia

right-click techniques don't work, although few people know how to get
around them -- turning off javascript often works, as does clicking first
left, and with left button still down, then the right button -- but the
layer technique you're thinking of involves a transparent gif, i think (the
uncertainty is because i neither try to protect images nor find myself on
sites that do)

another technique i've heard of is to code the image tags like this --

   <img src="image.gif" alt="picture of my cat" steal="no" />
