Subject: [ADMIN] MIND YOUR OOO MESSAGE!
Hello everyone!
Its that time of year again - time for me to bang my head on the table
again!
No, really. I do.
Presently, the large majority of us get a few days off, and,
responsibly, we will make sure that people who try to talk to us know
we aren't ignoring them, we've just got our feet up with a nice cold
one.
Sensibly, we leave an Out Of Office message for our colleagues and
clients.
But its important not to ruin that professional appearance by doing it
improperly.
The memberships of all your mailing lists generally don't need to know
that you are away (and its not just because some of us work through and
are jeaous - honest!! ;))
SO! Make sure you set your Out Of Office message so it doesn't reply to
your mailing lists.
It takes a little more effort, but it stops us thinking you're a dork.
And you aren't one.
(Are you?)
Merry Seasonally Appropriate Greetings!
(Santa is bringing me a 30" monitor. Hehehe. God Santa. But there
better be chocolate in there too! :))

Subject: Preventing copying of text from web page.
Hi,
We have been asked by a client whether it is possible to any extent to
prevent/deter users from copying content from a particular web page.
The page will comprise two main areas:
1) Selection options in the form of select lists, check boxes etc.
2) Once the criteria have been selected then a 'Search' button will
initiate a script that will query the database and display resulting
text records in tabular format.
The requirement is that the the user should be able to view the
resulting output, but not to be able to copy/paste to other applications.
Is this possible to achieve in a way that is standards-compliant - or
indeed in any way at all? One suggestion has been to apply a transparent
image over the results table - but not sure if this could be done with
CSS etc?
If this is considered off-topic then I would welcome suggestions for
more appropriate forums.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Regards,

Apart from putting copyright information on it and relying on visitors
integrity to not plagiarize it there is not a great deal they can do.
That is unless they have deep pockets and a team of lawyers to track
their information and hunt any offenders down.
Even if the information is displayed as an image they can always have
someone type it up.
If they are so concerned about their information then perhaps they
shouldn't publish it to the web?

It's rather off-topic, but more to the point it's impossible, and your
main task at this point is to explain to your client why even trying to
do it is
