If it can be downloaded to a browser, it can be saved.  All you'll be
able to do is frustrate that process with browsers that are capable of
JavaScript/Java.  For a determined person it's trivial to disable them
and then save, use a different browser, or use a command-line utility
that downloads and saves a web page.

The reality is that you're not really protecting your work, and you're
preventing someone from using the pop-up menu which has other options
than save, which annoys people.  (Also, not every browser uses the
same hot-keys for saving.)  Put a copyright notice on your page and
don't cripple your visitors' browsers.
