You could code that in the body, as so:
Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)
<body oncontextmenu="return false;">
<body oncontextmenu="return false;">
However, this is where I make my standard plea/warning: users expect that when they right-click, they get a context menu. I, for example, routinely use it to access "back". It's faster than mousing up to the top of the browser. Disabling or co-opting features that users have come to expect violates a basic application design principle, and should be avoided, in my opinion.

So unless you have a very compelling reason for doing this, I would suggest that you leave it alone.

Thanks a lot...that worked fine...
