hi, im alejoduran. i would like to know where to post this topic.
i have some pictures on my web site and i would like to know how can i prevent the visitors from right clicking them and saving them to their hard drive, i would also like to know how to hide the link that appears in the lower left corner of the browser when you put the mouse cursor over the picture.

thank you for your help.

Hi alejoduran99, Welcome to the forum, Firstly if someone loads your site in their browser they have your images.

Unfortunatly it isn't really possible to prevent others from saving your images, you can use some javascript to dis-able the right mouse click, Though i don't know any that work in Netscape only in IE.

As for the link location in the status bar, You can add

onmouseover="window.status='ONLY SEE THIS!';return true;"
onmouseout ="window.status='ONLY SEE THIS!';return true;"

to your links, like:

<a href="yourlink" onmouseover="window.status='ONLY SEE THIS!';return true;"
onmouseout ="window.status='ONLY SEE THIS!';return true;"></a>

you will need to add it to all your links though, but it's usefull as your can change what the veiwer sees when they mouse over your links, hope that helps a little... jaeman

Welcome to the forums alejoduran! As jaeman said, there is no way to stop someone stealing images from your site, you can only make it a bit harder for them.

Try searching the forums, you will find it has been discussed on many occassions.

hello
sometime javascript doesn't work on some browsers, people might have javascript disable, therefore you might want to use this script

modify <body>

to

<body oncontextmenu="return false" onselectstart="return false" ondragstart="return false">

like the 2 people said before, it's not possible to protect your images 100% of times, but what the above code does is that it disable right click, text selection, and image dragging. It will give people headache when they attempt to steal images from your site.

and last, welcome to this forum!
