Lots of web sites have disabled the right click function of the mouse button... it's really, really annoying. This is done so that you don't steal (via right-click->save picture) their photos or images or any other goodies. Unfortunately, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window.

It's easy to change, assuming your using IE 6:
Click "Tools"->"Internet Options"
Click the "Security" tab
Click "Custom Level"
Scroll down to the "Scripting" section
Set "Active Scripting" to "disable"
Click "Ok" a couple of times.

You'll probably want to turn this back to "enable" when your done... 'cause generally the javascript enhances a website.

Mozilla Firefox

1. Go to Tools –> Options and select “Web Options� from the left panel.
2. You would see that “Enable Javascript� is checked by default. Uncheck it and click OK.
3. Right Clicking should now be enabled on websites that do not allow it.
4. If this does not work, you could disable java altogether from the check box in the same window.

Opera

1. Go to Tools –>Preferences and select the “Advanced� Tab.
2. From the left panel, select “Content�
3. You would see that “Enable Javascript� is checked by default. Uncheck it and click OK.
4. Right Clicking should now be enabled on websites that do not allow it.
5. If this does not work, you could disable java altogether, also from the “Content� tab.

rajesh.. thanks for the info.
by the way, if only the right click is disabled..one can try SHIFT+F10 and its opens Right Click menu

In case SHIFT+F10 is also disabled..as in *www.formula1.com/ then ur post is helpful.

its for IE..donno for others.

Also, U can't save particular image using shift+f10. If the script is smart enough to use the event "oncontextmenu(xxxxxx)", u can't use this key combination.

The script disable feature is the only way for this on ie and firefox....

Just hold down the space bar while right clicking
I think it works for most sites in IE
