Is there any freeware (or some HTML code?) that will allow you to stop
visitors to your site right clicking on a picture and saving it using
the IE context menu?

And what about for NETSCAPE?

EDEB.

Discussed by the markup hats, frequently, in alt.html. GoogleGroup
there, or download some headers and cruise them -- you won't have to
look far.

And Opera, and Konqueror, and the Mac stuff, and......

No, there's nothing really effective, short of not putting out the images.

This will not prevent savvy web wizards from stealing your images, but
it will discourage novices. Place this script in the <head> section of
your HTML document:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!-- //
function click(evt) {
if (event.button==2) {
alert('RIGHT CLICK DISABLED');
return false;};
};
document.onmousedown=click;
// -->
</SCRIPT>

Not reliably. If they can see it, they can take it.

It doesn't matter which browser.
 
I don't know, but whatever utility the author of Freeware Book 12 uses,
stops me everytime....

(and by the way, it's a terrific resource for freeware sites on the net...
(Not asked for recommendation, but since edition 10, a necessary resource
for freeware on the net).... highly recommended, especially since surfing
its sites, you WILL find the answer...)

Another more devious trick, is to use overlaid layers, with a
transparent GIF guarding the original image, which you also split into
sections - and watermark prominently.

The basic fact, if you display an image, it can be stolen - scripts
can be jammed by script-blockers, and view source can then be used to
probe for other obfuscation.

Flash and shockwave can probably be decompiled, and there's no
stopping a screengrab.

Other than stamping them, displaying a copyright notice and not using
any images that have monetary or other value, there's not a lot you
can do. Also sizing an image to 1/4 area and then using width/height
to resize can look just about ok, but makes further enlargement
unrewarding.

So - appeal to people to respect your rights, make ripping off your
images difficult, and make the result obtainable by doing so as
minimal as possible, and as time-consuming as possible.
