Yikes! HTML coding gone amok.

To disable right click they are using:

They could have also used a Javascript function that captured 
document.onmousedown and tested for a right click.

To disable page reload and opening a new window (F5, Ctrl+R, and 
Ctrl+N), they use:

function noEvent() {
  // 116 -> F5
  // 82  -> R
  // 78  -> N
  if (event.keyCode == 116) {
    event.keyCode = 2;
    return false;
  }
  else if (event.ctrlKey && (event.keyCode == 78 || event.keyCode == 82)) {
    return false;
  }
}
document.onkeydown = noEvent;

The Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox is really useful for digging into 
these sort of things:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60.
