Hi,
It cannot be done.. This is a bad topic on these forums!!
You can disable the right click etc. but the user can still access the source code throught their browser..
Hope this helps Wullie

protecting your images is possible via third-party software/services that also scrambles screenshot programs, but i forget the company's name (but i remember it's a weird name). there are probably more than one company offering this service by now, just google hard for it. oh yeah, i believe the newest acrobat offers some level of protection. i guess if you really want to protect your images, you can always _not_ use them on your site.
as for protecting your text, oh boy you better get together with your target audience and devise some sort of elvish-crypto language that only the two of you can understand
. but then again, like everything else in life even that's not 100% fool-proof.

Hi guys,

Are you sure that this works?? If you click on the image and drag it to the address bar in IE then you see the image from your temp files.

hi wullie,
when the protected image was loaded there was no way to drag it in any browser i tried, and when i tried to take a screenshot the picture blacked out. thought i don't remember what the software was called, i remember it required a plug-in to view the protected image, so that was a turn-off. but if someone really wants to protect their stuff, then i guess it's worth it.

Should take about 10 seconds... LOL
You cannot expect a visitor to download a plugin just to view a few images that probably are not worth stealing anyway..

What's that? Are you talking about the link I gave. I am aware of printscreen, and all the many other bypass methods. I know the limitations of javascript and html just as much as you. However, at the bottom of the page there are some links to look at. Someone mentioned doing a google search so that is what I did, and that is what I came up with.
All of them could be bypassed using printscreen except:
PicKeeper (I did not test this one - but it's supposed to work)
and
ServeSafe
Again, I bet with some inginuity one could find a way to bypass these two (althought it'd require a yet unused route than the current methods used to steal images).

I can get the screen capture on Servesafe and the F@:?~@g thing crashes my machine every single time.. I had about 10 different "blue screens of death"..Pickeeper would be possible to capture the screen but it would probably take quite a bit of time..
My conclusion is that this would never be practical on most sites and if you really want the images, use a camera and take a shot of the screen!! LOL

"My conclusion is that this would never be practical on most sites and if you really want the images, use a camera and take a shot of the screen!!"
haha, good one wullie. but methinks the main reason someone would want to use image protection is so that others won't be able to steal the image and use it on their own site or whatever. you'd need to do *a lot* of photoshopping to clean up a pic taken with a camera.
like i said, i don't remember the company's name anymore (this was like two years ago), but who knows they could be out of business by now. anyway, there are a lot of other companies that offer similar products, check this out:
i'm sure some of these products are genuine. one other thing, have you guys looked into the newest acrobat? i believe they have a similar feature.

phpPete,
I have never found a better solution that the one you provided!!![[wink]](/data/assets/smilies/wink.gif "[wink] [wink]")
I just wish people would understand!! LOL
But, having said that, the two programs that KevinAr18 mentioned would probably stop 99% of images being stolen.. I cannot beleive I am saying this as it is against my beleifs but they are VERY difficult to get round unless you could disect the plug-in and use that to your advantage.
Most people would not put in the effort required to get those images.
The biggest point to make is that when you visit the sites that provide those programs, WHY DO THEY NOT USE THEM????
I think this anwsers all the questions..
BTW. Why is it that these threads are always started by someone that never posts again?? LOL

Hey, I have one of those, good idea -- a digital one that is
BTW, wullie I wanted to apologize for my comments directed at you. Whether you noticed or not, I got rather upset, so I apologize.
Anyways, I took a look at the source on the page for the plug-in one, and guess what... It's has javascript.
Here's the page of the image you supposedly can't copy:
However, by looking at the source of the page and following the trail of scripts, I was able to get the same image with watermarks on it that can be taken with a screenshot.

Hi mate,
I mean't in NO way to offend you. That was not my intention.![[peace]](/data/assets/smilies/peace.gif "[peace] [peace]")
The reason I said about the print screen was because Gnet had said that he found one that scrambled the image if you tried that.
It was the print screen scrambler that I was looking for, which you later found with servesafe. Pickeeper would be very easy but I would have to time the launch of that and another prorgram perfectly to get the screenshot. I use an image program to take screenshots and it takes a few seconds to load, if I launch this first, then Pickeeper, when the image program is loaded it breaks the hold that Pickeeper has over the screen so that I have access to the toolbars etc, again.
This is the best thread I have seen about how to hide images!! At least we have a few decent suggestions even though I would never personally use them!!
Hope this helps Wullie
