@Dark_DragonDec 07.2004 — Hello..

There are Javascripts that can do this however I will tell you right now not to even waste your time trying to do so.

Considering that Apple comp users will be shut out mostly..it is a loosing battle to try and "preserve" your content....that is the sad fact of web design..once it is uploaded it is "public"...

There are really no means to preserve your images..you can put a watermark on your images....make them a really cruddy quality or just not upload images.

I know this seems harsh but even if you did manage to prevent "right-clicking" all those images can still be retrieved from the persons Internet Cache.

In short...don't bother.

@spufiDec 07.2004 — Try to protect it all you want. I click on File and then Save Page As and I have a copy of what I'm looking at. Trust me, if you are trying to protect your stuff from being stolen, it's probably not worth stealing anyway. ?

Just makes it a little harder, but doesn't prevent it...

@Paul_JrDec 08.2004 — People who want it will find a way to get it. There is no point in trying to keep it from people. If you don't want it borrowed/taken/stolen/ect., you can do one thing and one thing only : do not put it on the internet.

Success!
