right click disabled in XP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 11.2003

I have used a Javascript to disable the right click on the mouse so as to prevent my images being saved by the user.
Unfortunately in XP a tool bar appears when the cursor is over an image allowing the image to be saved!!
Anyway around this? Disabling of the toolbar possible?
Any help / script / advice urgently required. Please Help.

@pyroMar 11.2003 — Ok, first of all, there is no way to protect your images. All these wonderful little no right-click scripts do is annoy the heck out of your visitors. Here are a few ways that they can get your images...

  • 1. File->Save As

  • 2. Right Click->Save Picture As

  • 3. Retreive file from the Temporary Internet Files folder

  • 4. Use a screen capture program to print the screen

  • 5. etc


    • As you see, there is _no_way_ to protect your images if you choose to put them online. The closest you can come is a watermark.

    Anyway, if you want to disable the toolbar, insert this into the <head> of your page:

    <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">

    @khakiMar 11.2003 — Hi Martid...

    Quite seriously... there is no way to protect your images from being grabbed in some manner off of the web.

    If your images are truly that valuable to you... you should only show them in hard-copy portfolios that you can control.

    This is the internet... and currently it is a lawless frontier. It is no place for valued intellectual property.

    This discusiion has been beaten to death in these forums - although there is certain to be at least 6 more posts that follow this one that will suggest sure-fire ideas that will not offer any valid protection at all.

    Those who don't care enough about stealing your stuff will be deterred by the meager means that you can take to disuade them. But those who really want to steal your stuff can find at least 3 ways around any type of protection that you can think of.

    That's just the way it is, and if the moderators here have any sense of decency, they will lock this topic down asap! (lol).

    intellectually unvalued... but quite verbose...

    I hope the moderators don't get in the habit of locking topics. That would get really annoying, really fast...

    Text on a page (whether it be poetry, opinion, manuscript, or manifesto), can be viewed with the eyes and re-written with the hand. Javascript cannot prevent that.

    Maybe if your poetry is really bad... no one would [I]want[/I] to steal it (lol). Otherewise, [I]you[/I] are [I]really[/I] SOL CV31 (wink).

    Bottom-line:

    [I]Any[/I] intellectual property that is placed on the web is at risk of being "stolen". Therefore - if it is very valuable to you - the internet is [I]not[/I] a good place for displaying it safely.

    ...awakened to find frozen pipes this morning... and [U]this[/U]... (sigh)...
