Disable the 'save image' menu on iPhone with Javascript

Have a photography site that I want to prevent image copying from. How can I disable the save image menu that pops up on an iPhone when you hold down your finger on an image?

The solution with CSS (-webkit-touch-callout: none;) as @alex tells, works fine with iOS7 Safari. Thanks.

Try:

document.body.style.webkitTouchCallout='none';

As an aside is it really worth it? Hacks like this do impact user expectations, and your image is on the internet, anyone who wants it can easily get it regardless of whether a context menu has been disabled in the browser they're using.
