    Is there anything built into Frontpage or Dreamweaver that stops people right clicking or pressing the Print Screen button when viewing a web page?
    If not can anyone recommend anything?

    Erm thats not really watermarking
    and its a very poor policy, it annoys the hell out of users, doesnt actually stop anyone getting the code for the site, its just generally an annoying pointless feature


    a quick wget http://www.yourweb.com/yourpage.html retrieves the file for me and others
    if your looking to protect the graphics the above line will also give them the source links to all the images allowing them to wget those, there also often stored in a users cache

    to keep on topic
    i dont know of anyway to do that out the box unfortunatly, sorry, many use javascript to disable the mouse stuff, not sure how you would disable the print screen function though

    I'm not aware of anything built into Dreamweaver, you can achieve this with some java script. However this wont stop anyone from saving the page and extracting text or images from the saved page this only stops people from right clicking on your page and there is no real way to stop people from veiwing your html, if someone is determined to see your code they will.

    Code:
    <SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
    <!-- http://www.spacegun.co.uk -->
    	var message = "function disabled"; 
    	function rtclickcheck(keyp){ if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && keyp.which == 3){ 	alert(message); return false; } 
    	if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && event.button == 2) { 	alert(message); 	return false; } } 
    	document.onmousedown = rtclickcheck;
    </SCRIPT>
    This code goes in the head section of the document.
