How do I prevent website images from being downloaded and saved by viewers
who use the right click menu?
 
Why are you just picking on the right-clickers?

What about the left-click drag and droppers?
What about the IE6 Image Bar hover and save people?
What about the cache scavengers?
What about the ALT | Print Screen folks and the View | Source get-the-url
crowd?

Click to expand...
You can't. The best way is to only place small low
resolution images on the internet and worry no more.
 
You may want to see if there is some javascript that will render the picture.
JS has the ability to disable menu and mouse actions. I know I've been on
site that have stopped me from downloading graphics.
 
Reality check, Jeff. This is discussed over and over in this newsgroup.
Perhaps you don't hang out or read the posts here ;-)

How do I stop people from downloading my graphics or code?

Jeff...nothing will prevent anyone from downloading graphic...for one thing; they already ARE downloaded to your machine if you can see them - just browse your internet cache with an image view someday when you have nothing to do :-)

It may have stopped *you*. But, if you had the brain capacity exceding that
of a hamster, you could easily work around these magical scripts.

Well, yeah. But what's with this profiling. What's his beef with
right-clickers? Some of my best friends are right-clickers.

I mean really - shouldn't he at least be an Equal Opportunity Dumbass?

Hey just to piss off left handers I'm gonna switch all my vertical navs to the right side...I'm tired of having navs all the way on the left side..and I ain't gonna take it anymore! :-)

Maybe that will stop people from right clinking oot.

when you view a site, images are downloaded and saved, so the answer to your
question is "you cant'" since it is a function of the web browser to do so.

The right click function(s) that you see around can be overridden and hacked.
There is no fool-proof way to prevent copying of images.
 
Just disable right-clicking:

<body oncontextmenu="return false;">

This only works in IE and it doesn't protect your images from anything. All
it does is disable right-clicking in IE.
 
Darn. Looks like I missed the party this weekend. :(

Yeah. The potluck was great (although those swedish meatballs went a little
too fast for me).
 
This also disables the ability to right click and create a shortcut. Among other things.
