Topic: How do I stop downloading of photos Posted: 25 November 2003 at 8:56am |
I have a Photography site and wish to stop downloading of the photos. I know how I can do this with no right click in Java. I don’t know how I can stop IE6 from displaying the icons normally top left of a pic that giving the option to print, download send or open my pic’s. The pages I use to show the photos are std html so vbscript will not work as not ASP, how can I do this with Javascript?

- Someone with a little knolledge of HTML can easily bypass the no right click javascript.
- Its javascript not java :)
- Stopping people downloading an image to their harddrive is impossible if you want it displayed on a website
- The best way to stop it is to print 'sample' over the image so you are the only one with the original

Summary: You can't stop it. (Kind of reminds me of an old Twisted Sister tune .)

I had a feeling that it was that way. Sample stamping time it is then.

Actually you can stop image downloading. It involves some complex layers and JAVA. Not sure how to do it though.

LOL. Here's what it comes down to: If you can view it you can save it.
2 ultimate ways of saving an image no matter what:
1. The image is always saved in your Temp Inet files. Get it from there.
2. If it's stored in a flash file, you can just Print Screen and then paste it somewhere, then save it. (You can also de-comp a flash file and rip the original images out...a bit more complex)

1: stamping as suggested.
2: use asp.net software to cut your images into several sections. That's actually done here:

I'd sat that's the perfect combination...i believe you can even use asp.net to add stamps to your images automatically.

Necronom, thats not always true!
After i got my granduation pictures i was told to go to a website and pick the ones i wanted. I tryed getting a copy so i could just print it out. First i tryed to save the image, but that didnt work. Then i tryed to view the source and get the image, again that didnt work. Then i tryed to print the screen and copy it into photoshop, but the only images coming up where "Image copyrighted" all over it. I tryed everything. I even looked in the temp folders and it wasnt there.
They where using some kind of software that hides the image somehow so no one can get it without paying for it first.
