Paging Jen Thompson (or any web-saavy person) to the white courtesy phone

I have a web site question for you, if you don't mind... :-) 

I have a small script designed to keep people from being able to right-click and take photos off my pages. It works great on my main pages. The problem comes in when I link to a larger picture from a thumbnail or gallery. The page it "creates" to view the larger photo is not a real web page created by me, so I cannot add the protection script to it. 

So, I noticed on Jen's site, that when she links to a larger photo, an actual theme-integrated page pops up for viewing. If anyone out there can tell me, how do I create one page that I can code and theme my own way that will display any photo someone clicks on within the site? Is this possible without using frames? 

I hate it when I run smack into the wall of my limited knowledge...

No clue. I make a seperate HTML page for every gallery picture on my site. Very time consuming, but oh well.

Wow, you make a page for each picture? Damn, girl!

Right click disabling doesn't really stop people with Internet explorer which allows you to save a photo very easily if it is larger than 200pxls wide. It also means you stop your audience being able to right click and open any link in a new window.

A watermark or breaking the image up into tiles seems to be the only way to prevent people easily stealing images (they either need to be skillful to remove the watermark or be able to match the tiles up to paste in another image.)

Whatever you do, remember people can still do a screen capture;)

I have a separate code that keeps that IE6.0 image toolbar from popping up and allowing saving that way.

There's only so much you can do, of course, but i want to do as much as I can to protect the images that don't belong to me. I have pictures from several photographers of me from this run and I'd like to post them with a little assurance they aren't at lesst EASY to steal.

I am a little bummed that any thumnailed or galleried image doesn't manifest on an actual page I can code. That pretty much defeats the purpose of disabling right click since almost all my website images are thumnailed or galleried.

There must be a way...
