dissable right clicks !

Is there any way to disable right clicks on my web site to stop people from just copy and pasting my pictures ?

-Bruno

There is code to do this Bruno.
Unfortunately, it's almost as easy to use the "PrtScn" facility as to copy and paste.
It still ends up on someone's hard drive, where they can do what they want with it.
You could always write "PROPERTY OF BRUNO" across it and take the opacity down so it's still visible but the image shows through.

watermarking it is your best bet. theres no other way to stop people getting at your pictures.

ok fair enuf i din't think of that haha silly me :P

Even placing them with CSS will disable right clicking the image, however the print screen etc will still work as stated. Watermarks are effective as I doubt most people will bother spending the time in photoshop to remove it. Antoehr option is to simply not provide large enough files to have any real use. Its a tough one.

Agreed. It's a touchy one. What is the nature of your site? What are the nature of the pictures?

The reason I ask is... Why is it so important that no one downloads your pictures?

Watermarks are your best bet but they are ugly and it's kind of like cutting your nose off dispite your face.

You could also put a legal notice on the site saying something to the effect of "The pictures and photographs on this site are the property of [your name] and any unauthorised use is strictly prohibited."

That way you have a legal leg to stand on at least.

The biggest concern I would think is people hot linking to them, although in most cases it isn;t an issue unless it is stock photography or something in which case any image large enough for use should be watermarked.

It sure is possible...

Four words for you: "Image Hosted By Tripod"

I found this a while back while looking into solutions for this problem. It's not foolproof - as javascript it can easily be turned off, and I'm not sure I'd use it on a 'serious' site, but for the annoyance factor it'd probably put off casual thieves. (Warnings: do read the warnings before you try right clicking on the page or you'll spend 5 minutes desperately trying to figure out how to stop it without closing your browswer completely! lol)

Well that depends. On one hand you are right, that functionality should be available on the other hand it depends on the content, type of site etc. I doubt say blind people will be looking to buy stock photography. But then again I don't really know what his site is about and what his concerns are other than people copying his images.

I don't wanna jump to conclusions but I think moojoo fully understands that mate...

Just a scenario man. Just a scenario

basicly im going to put pictures of my artwork on my site and i dont want people just printing a copy off

I would suggest displaying thumbnails and then watermarking the larger version?

Yep, with that kind of thing it's the only way to go really

good idea cheers for that
