Disable Right Click Hi everyone, I would like to know how to disable right clicking on a web page. Normally I strongly disagree with disabling any of a visitors basic functions (back button, etc), but I need to prevent people from stealing photos of my work. If I can do that, then when I ask a client if I can post it on the web, they will be much more willing to oblige. Thanks for the help, ___________________ Life is what you make of it, so stop blaming everyone else! August 29th, 2003 12:34 PM Don't do that. It's very annoying to take away basic functions like that. Your picture can be stolen anyway. A simple click on page source or view source will do that for you. Plus, it doesn't always work in all browsers.The only way is to take it to the client personally and show it to him/her/them or watermark your image and make sure they know why. ___________________ Travis Farrell August 29th, 2003 12:36 PM fredmvStatus: Offline!
Why not just watermark the images? If you want more of my opinions on this, check my post here: http://www.tutorialforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48333#post406655 Although, I will help you. This is the best cross-browser way to do it:
Hope that helps you out. ___________________

August 29th, 2003 03:30 PMunless you store it in an avi, in which case screenshots will not work and the person would have to decode it and take the pictures out, you're pretty much exposing the images. You should make a light watermark over the image, either over the whole thing but with significant opacity (transparency). That way even cropping is no good.

Thanks everyone, I'm inclined to agree with you all. It goes against everything in me to disable any basic functions. However, there's another thing I thought of in reading all of your posts...I'm only putting up low quality GIFs of my work. They may be able to use it on their own websites, but they won't be able to print them very well. Plus, the watermark would put an end to all of it. That's my next step, to watermark all of my images. Thanks for setting me straight! Sometimes I get so close to my own projects I can't see straight anymore! Thanks! ___________________ Life is what you make of it, so stop blaming everyone else! |
