images on webpages

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 16.2003

I have done some personal webpage design in the past. I’m not doing so anymore, but I do have a question. I’m thinking about making another one in the future and have an issue on images.

How can I prevent people from coping my images? I know I could disable the Right-click event with Javascript, but somebody can just view the source and find the path to the image and take it.

How can one person stop this? Are there any sources on the Internet that talk about this issue.

@Khalid_AliNov 16.2003 — You can not do that.Every suggestion is only consumption of more time on your behalf,where as the end result always will be that images in html pages can be stollen...

use flash or applets to display images,that might stop them from being stollen.

@Paul_JrNov 16.2003 — This, like the Tables issue, has been discussed many times. And no, there is no possible way for you to keep someone from grabbing any of your images/graphics/code. If it is on the internet, they can get it.
