Locking photos on your website.

So anyone know how to do that trick where you lock photos, so when anyone right clicks to try and save your pics they get a little pop up that tells them to piss off? I have dreamweaver but I haven't figured out how to go about this. Anyone? Anyone?

Keep in mind that even if the code I sent you works, there's no way to stop somebody from getting to your page source; if they know how to read HTML, it will be easy for them to steal your entire website layout. But this will help prevent the people who want to right-click + save your pictures. Hope it helps.

liiiiike this?

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"]
omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|")
function disableselect(e){
if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1)
return false
}
function reEnable(){
return true
}
if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined")
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
else{
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onmouseup=reEnable
}
-->
</script>


That doesnt disable right click though, I yanked that from snopes, because I like to yank from snopes. So that isnt entirely what your looking for.



Anywho, I say your best bet at protection is watermarking.

doesn't matter how hard you try or how much code you put in, snatching pictures is impossible to prevent.

all the code you put in is simply a waste of your time :)

Also keep in mind that by a simple screen print anyone can steal your picture as well :(

I know, I'd just like to make it a little harder for the idjits that swipe pics randomly for their own nefarious purposes. I'd like to make it a little harder, since they never like to work.

The whole watermark thing just seems so overkill when it's an entire site. Just screams paranoia. ah well, it was just a thought.

embed them in some sort of flash file. they'll still be able to do a screen shot. so use a watermark.

yeah a Flash file is something else I'd consider. but, i guess if you want to go thru the trouble?

Also, in IE, i know you can simply roll over an image and these little icons will pop up on it - one is to save the image...

I don't really care if people steal my pics. I take pics and post them on the net so people can share in my joy of reptiles. People can use any of my pics for anything they like and I don't even care about getting credit. I don't want to see any of my pictures popping up in classifieds saying its for sale and its theirs. if so ill contact them and pose as a buyer then find where they live. And ill probably pop in for a visit. I like road trips.
But if my Pics ever up on someone's web site as just a good pic of an animal I don't mind at all.
