It's JavaScript. It's fairly successful at keeping a person with a little 
computer knowledge (no insult intended) from taking one of your photos, but 
if someone really wants it, there are still ways to beat the script and 
take the image. I would figure that someone who really wants that image 
(and who has a knowledge of how a web browser works) would be clever enough 
to get around the JavaScript protection.
