Suppress Right Click in Firefox

We want to disallow a right click (to download pictures) from our web site.

We are using this JavaScript code which works fine in IE:
function noRightClick() {
      if (event.button==2) {
            alert('Sorry, You can not right click.');
      }
}
and then
document.onmousedown=noRightClick

This does not work in FireFox. What can I do to make it function similarly in FireFox?

Hi!
This code works in both browsers:
http://www.billybear4kids.com/clipart/riteclic.htm

<script language="JavaScript"> <!--
// No rightclick script v.2.5
// (c) 1998 barts1000
// barts1000@aol.com
// Don't delete this header!
 
var message="Sorry,  You can not right click."; // Message for the alert box
 
// Don't edit below!
 
function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// --> </script>

Does not work in FireFox. Same as before. I did not try in IE.

However, I may not be using it right.

I put it in it's own <script></script> tag set, I have a lot of other JavaScript already in there, I left that alone but REMOVED the previous document.onmousedown

Did you specify language in the script tag? Tested it in both browsers...

In FF Ctrl+Shift+J to check any javascript errors. If error console is full of errors, click clear button and reload page.

I combined all the Javacript into one. It works in IE 7.0. It DOES NOT work in FireFox 5.0.

Your solution DOES NOT work in Firefox either. I have not yet tried it in IE.

Sorry, I had a JavaScript error. Yours works. You get the points.
