I make my own graphics and I was wondering..what is the tag to prevent people from right clicking and stealing my images?

No right clicking has come up alot. Next time search the forum. Anyway, here a code:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
//original author unknown
//modified by, and displayed on www.a1javascripts.com
if (window.Event)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);

function nocontextmenu()
{
event.cancelBubble = true
event.returnValue = false;

return false;
}

function norightclick(e)
{
if (window.Event)
{
if (e.which == 2 || e.which == 3)
return false;
}
else
if (event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)
{
event.cancelBubble = true
event.returnValue = false;
return false;
}

}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.oncontextmenu = nocontextmenu;
document.onmousedown = norightclick;
document.onmouseup = norightclick;
//-->
</script>


Keep in mind, people do find ways to steal pictures, so the only way to keep pictures as your property would be to copyright them.

Hope I was helpful!

But if the person who wants to steal the pic knows that if you highlight it then click on Edit > Copy then he would still have your pics. *goes to look for code*

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//Disable select-text script (IE4+, NS6+)- By Andy Scott

function disableselect(e){
return false
}

function reEnable(){
return true
}

//if IE4+
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")

//if NS6
if (window.sidebar){
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
</script>

Add that to you site with the no right click script ^_^

But, in the end, if they really want your image, they can find it in the temporary internet folder on their computer. All images from Web sites you view download into that folder. Most people know this :(

If your host supports '.htaccess' try Lissa's page:

HTH.

Wow! I didn't know there was a code to stop the select-edit-copy!!! But does '.htaccess' prevent the temporary internet files from going onto your computer? And exactly where can I find temporary interent files on my computer...*just got an idea*....:D

You can find a silent-no right click script off of dynamic drive :) .

it's needed to view the site. so nope you can't prevent that. Like i say "think before you act" just think if you really think the image is worth putting on the net. Otherwise don't spent no-right-click scripts on it or something, becuase that makes people even more curious to 'get it'

Love,

or, if they DIDN't know that, they could click Print Screen then go to wherever and crop out the image...:(, isn't that tragic??? the way people steal images????

There's really no way to protect your images. Thieves can view source, use print screen, etc. The best way is to watermark them. ^_~
