Lately, I've seen a trend developing online with the graphics community. When you create an original image, you don't want anybody else to use it without permission (if at all). But once you put it up on a Web page, it can be taken without asking. To curb this behavior, some users have relied on code which disables right-click functionality on that particular page. But there's still a way to get at those graphics. Think about it for a second -- in IE5, you can easily save an entire Web page (graphics and text). Or, just flip through your cache. I'm not suggesting that you go around yanking graphics against an artist's will, but should you ever need to get around this right-click stumbling block (for whatever reason), remember this tip.
