When they were 5 years old???

Are all methods that even kids know how to do. It really is a bad idea as you remove functionality to genuine users, 99.999% of visitors.

And as Greg pointed out, it only stops the people who are of no danger.
Anyone of any threat will have learned ways around the right click when they were 5 years old.

There is also the option to do File -> Save Page as in most browsers's menu bar.

That's right. If the guy has the skills to actually "use" your coding, then he will also have the skills to "null" the no-right-click function. E.g. javascript:void oncontextmenu(null)

In addition, I never use right-click for getting the source code, I simply hit CTRL+U, which opens the code up directly. I don't know if that works for anything other than Firefox, though.

Just keep in mind that you're probably going to annoy a lot of people who use right-click to access other browser functions.

I've never heard of any way to block users from file > save as. Why are you so worried about people saving the page?

Simply replace <body> with <body oncontextmenu="return false;">

It is not possible to prevent someone from saving the webpage, as once they visit the page it has already been downloaded into their Temp folder for your browser to display to you.

Hope this helps
