Hey I have this not-so-technical work around for u. Apply a Mouse over handler for the image. on a mouse-over, just change the image to some other image (probably a smaller one which says "Dude, U cant download this!!!") and again on a Mouse-out bring back the original image.
Guess that will solve your problem and people will not be able to download it... But as Sripathi says, it would be better to show a smaller size, low resolution image, as people can always do a ScreenPrint and extract exactly that image alone!! Hope a combination of these two things would solve ur problem. ~ Abhi On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 3:02 AM, Sripathi Krishnan < [email protected]> wrote: > but if they can just right click it and "Save Image As" there isn't any >> point. >> > > Disabling right click is no solution.
