Is there a javascript code that prevents viewers from saving web files via the website?

**e.g.** If i have a webpage online which includes images, text, swf etc, i want to make it safe so that no one can simply do a:  
“File | Save As | Webpage complete”

and use the files to their advantage.

I simply want the saved html to be a blank html page, and the images not to be included in the save.

Thanks 🙂
