James, Yeah I had it working and didn't know it, the problem was the referrer was around the wrong way.... I can stop the image from linked too, I can stop the image from being saved by the browser. But the only thing I can't stop is the image from being captured using print screen... Oh well.

As you mention though, there really IS no way to prevent images being saved - if someone really wants to do it they will. (though reading through your post again I might have misunderstood and what you're trying to do - might need more clarification) Regards, James > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, 1 October 2004 10:45 AM > To: CFAussie Mailing List > Subject: [cfaussie] Brain Drain Friday > > > > Ok, > > There was a discussion the other day about caching of images, my > problem is that I am trying to stop the image from being saved on the > HD by the browser.
