Is there a way to prevent the context menu from appearing when the right mouse button is clicked in IE4? I am aware of IE5's capability to do this.

Kenneth Kephart, Martin Honnen, John Hathaway,
Actually on ie5, and not sure in ie4, but you can place the
oncontextmenu="return false" in the body of the html.
example: <body oncontextmenu="return false">
The above information will not produce a context menu at all.
You can popup an alert which seems to prevent the context menu
document.onmousedown =
function () {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert('No context menu.');
return false;
}
}
But think twice of that as you are heavily restricting the user gui
without really achieving any code or images protection.
And no, there doesn't seem to be a way to avoid the context menu in IE4
without popping up the alert.
