How can I protect images?

TimCritchfield · Sep 20, 2001

I used this code on my site but it didn't work.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title></title>
<meta name="Description" content="">
<meta name="Keywords" content="">
<meta name="Author" content="thomas critchfield">
<meta name="Generator" content="AceHTML 4 Freeware">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
function protect(evt)
{
if (navigator.appName != 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
{
if (evt.which != 3)
return true;
};
alert("Sorry, you don't have permission to right-click.&quot

;
return false;
}

function trap()
{
if(document.images)
{
if(navigator.appName != 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
{
for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++)
document.images.onmousedown = protect;
}
else
{
for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++)
document.images.oncontextmenu = protect;
}
}
}

// End -->
</SCRIPT>

</head>
<body OnLoad="trap()">

How do I use this code? Can someone give me an example?

Tim, I can't answer your question, but I can give you a posting tip. Notice that about halfway down your code goes from normal text to italic? I'll bet that the line:

Code:

document.images.onmousedown = protect;

is supposed to be:

Code:

document.images[i].onmousedown = protect;

The missing

Code:

[i]

was taken by TT to be a TGML tag for italic (just like <i> in html). To prevent that from happening, always enclose your code in [ code ] and [ /code ] tags (without the spaces, of course). That's how I got the

Code:

[i]

to display twice in this paragraph.
