Hello,

In reading the HTML pages on this site I saw where you can block certain IP address from connecting as well as other things. I want to know how I can block users from downloading copywritten images from my site. I'm building a page for a photography studio and naturally I want to display their images. But I don't want people to be able to download them from the site. I have seen sites that pop up a message saying dowload is disabled when you right-click an image. That's basically what I want to do.

Thanks!

Like stopping people from viewing source code, there is no sure-fire way to do it.

There are methods to deter people from trying, but none are fullproof.

1. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/noright2.htm - the right click script, but it doesn't work in FF
2. Put a watermark on your images. Spoils the images a bit, but may prevent them from using the images themsleves.

However, people can still use the Print Screen (Prt Sc) button and take the images that way.
