I would like to put a transparency over my page to make it harder for people
to copy text and pictures.
Thanks

Add a style

body { background: url('overlay.jpg')';}
You may want to add
no-repeat (or repeat or repeat-x or repeat-y)
fixed (or scroll)
top
(options are:
top left
top center
top right
center left
center center
center right
bottom left
bottom center
bottom right
x-% y-%
x-pos y-pos)

The style is placed in the <head>
e.g.
<head>
........
<style type="text/css">
body { background: url('overlay.jpg')';}
</style>
.......
</head>

or in an external style sheet, say style.css, with this placed in the <head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

Of course, you will have to create your own overlay in an image editor
unless you can google for one.
 
And when you get it all put together, open the page in a browser.
Press the Print Screen button
Open Paint and click Edit > paste.

Steve,
I am not the OP

I guess that is your way of saying that Print won't print the background
image.

I haven't really noticed when printing web pages - I usually get everything
I see.

So I guess there's an option to turn off background images.
Or do they never print ??

P.S.
I just tried it with my own web page which has a background image, and the
image appeared.
 
All of the cheap tricks are a waste of time. The Chastity Belt never worked
either. There's always a way to get your ya-yas.

Hi Trevor.

My response wasn't meant for you.

My point was, Print Screen will capture exactly what the viewer sees in
their browser.

OK, Steve,
I just added that because some people get confused as to who wrote what and
I wanted to ask a question on this topic

Ahah, I read it as the opposite.
So it is WYSIWYG.

That's good to know
 
Hi Trevor,

Sorry if this isn't what you are looking for (since I am jumping in... in
the middle of a thread :-)

Web page image printing is generally controlled in your browser. For example
in IE 6 you can go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | and then under
printing either check or uncheck "Print background colors and images"

In other words nothing will stop you copying text and images.
You can also scour the temp internet files to find the pages.
