Using html

Could anyone help with coding to stop users copying/downloading of graphics from a web page. Eternally grateful for code or ADVICE

The only way i can think of doing this is to disable the right-click on the users mouse. It is not foolproof though; If you were to doing it using a script, a user could use a browser that is not compatible wth scripts and therefore, the right button would be enabled. Anyway, Here's a link to a javascript script that disables right click

If you do not want people copying/downloading your images, don't put them on the website. If someone wants them, there's always a way to get them.

No fool-proof way of doing it. Some sites put a watermark image over images they don't want copied - you need to do this server-side though.

That's actually done in the paint/photo program not in code.

Psyrus - it can be done in a paint/photo program but if you can't be bothered to do it every time (especially if you have a lot of images) then adding a watermark at runtime very helpful. Take a look -> http://www.thecodeproject.com/aspnet...ageHandler.asp

Interesting, that would prove to be very useful once set up, but it seems a lot of extra work to go through when it's done easier in a paint program. Good article though. :thumb:

Yeah it only makes sense if you are uploading a lot of images i.e. when adding a watermark yourself becomes a pain in the arse.

I have a site that has an administration area to upload images and other details rather than using FTP - it adds a watermark to the image when it is uploaded rather than at runtime (when the image is requested) which simplifies matters a tad.
