You could use - this disables mouse copying for images only in web pages. You can grab a copy of the .js file from my place http:// www. onzcda.com/ ap / disable_images.js if you want. :cool:

Try SignMyImage or Digimarc. http://www.adptools.com http://www.digimarc.com . Both of them can sign your photos by an invisible signature and search them on internet.

Until the user turns off JavaScript, user agent does not support JavaScript or they use the image tool bar for fire fox which bypasses JavavScript or any other number of ways to get around JS.

Do you hate water marking because of the amount of work you would need to do? You can write a simple Script that uses GD to watermark images on the fly, meaning when they load on the webpage. Your original images would never change.

Just wondering if there's anyone out there that knows the code to prevent someone from right clicking on an image and saving it? I'm about to attempt to make a website for my photography and I would really prefer not putting watermarks on everything if I can help it, and I've found the inability to save an image really helps!

 

Be gentle with me! I'm a bit slow so far when it comes to code and I'm just starting out. I just didnt know how to even search for this kind of information, and I'm sure I'll need more help in the future, so I figured this was my best bet. Thanks!

 

You are better off with a watermark. it's the WTG in most cases and there are good CMS which can handle this for you without lifting a finger.

 

That's what i use in our website - screen print

I saw uline.com do the same thing but looking a the code there is no url to the image behind. Does anyone know how this is done?

 

example of one url:

 

http://www.uline.com/Product/ProductPopUp.aspx?BrowseListing=Y&picture=/Images/product/Large/HD_316_L.jpg

The only difference is that they have used an absolutely positioned div with a transparent image that's been placed above the actual product image.

 

     src="[b]/images/en-US/transparent.gif[/b]" alt="" name="transGIFctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_imgProduct"     
    id="transGIFctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_imgProduct">


     onload="resize_trans_gif('ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_imgProduct','transGIFctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_imgProduct');" 
    class="MainImage" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_imgProduct">

right click prevention with javascript, remember that one, left click followed by a quick right click always beats the javascript on that
