Even if you turn off the right mouse button with Javascript, I can easily circumvent that with any decent web browser. Instead of trying a bunch of programmatic tricks, you might look at embedding an obvious watermark in the photo itself, adding some information to the JPG headers, or using a digital watermark. One interesting practice I heard of was writing client information into EXIF headers when they requested images and if they showed up anywhere, you could see who grabbed them from your site.
Still, the web is an open platform. The philosophical arguments against making it dificult for people to view your images or page source aren't really suitable for this forum. However, technically, I think it's largely unnecessary and bound to just frustrate your users. - Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Bujarski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 1:22 PM Subject: Image toolbar > I have images that I want to protect, IE put in this new browser feature in > that when you hover your mouse over the image it pops up a toolbar that > allows the user to print, save, email, etc the picture they are hovering > thier mouse over.
