Hi folks,
could one of you kind people please provide me with a script that defeats someone from right-clicking an image to save it, so that I can protect some of my hard work.
Thanks in advance
Merry Christmas

Thanks very much Dennis,
I did have a short JavaScript written down somewhere
(can't find it)that brought up a message box stating "sorry this image is copyright" when an image was right clicked, that replaced the 'save as' dialog box.
Would you or anyone else be able to provide me with something similar in JS.

cheers

<HTML>

var ns4 = (document.layers)? true:false
var ie4 = (document.all)? true:false


function press(e) {
if ((ns4 && (e.which == 3 || e.which == 2)) || (ie4 && (event.button == 2 || event.button == 3))) {
alert ("Stop trying to steal my pictures...what's wrong with you anyway?")
return false
}
return true
}for (var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++) document.images[ i ].onmousedown=press
for (var i=0; i<document.links.length; i++) document.links[ i ].onmousedown=press
document.onmousedown=press

Will the above solution prevent someone from
saving the whole web page as Web Page?
If not, all immages would be saved in separate folder
for the thief.

Hi again,
Point taken Sadovod, I suppose if someone's really determined they'll find a way no matter what. At least the visitor will be informed that the image is copyright, not that it matters to some people today, as they steal complete sites from what I've seen and heard.

MasterGoon, if you can find such a script I would appreciate a copy of it.

I managed to find my original script after, it's not up to par with Dennis's script, but achieves the same end

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function click() {
if (event.button==2) {
alert('Copyright etc, etc')
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
// -->
</script>

Cheers all
GRAHAM :)
