Hello,
I have been wondering this for a long time. If you post a graphic on a web page, say, one you have paid a lot of money for and don't want people to steal, how do you stop people from being able to right click it and save it??
thanks!

put a font onto the picture, rather your name or the photographers name. some sort of cheap copy right where they cant crop it out of the picture.

i can do it for ya if you like.

Disable right clicking
I wouldnt recommend this. You can just view source or disable javascript to bypass that. Also, you can print screen and use paint or another image editing program to just cut out the image.

How do you disable the right click?

Put a water mark on it.

Put faint text under it saying "COPYRIGHT" :D
And your name xx

So if you took like a smiley face graphic, watermarked your name on it, couldn't someone just take it, and then take it to paint and remove the watermark???

Hey, I used to do that for photos I took and put on a site. Though I also should have put a watermark on them as well... *shrugs* That was in the past and I didn't know how to do that then.

Anyway, in order to disable right click on that page, you need to have the right html code for it. Here's the site I found this one at and here's the code;

Code:

The part I put in bold, is where you can edit the window that pops up when they try to right click on anything on the page. You can put "Right click is disabled! These images are copyrighted 2008" or whatever you wish to put down.

Hope this works for you! Good luck.

Your only option is to use a watermark of some form, anything else can either be defeated by viewing the source code, disabling javascript, or taking a screenshot.

Besides, using scripts to disable right click prevents people from bookmarking your website, as people generally add sites to their bookmarks by right clicking and pressing "Bookmark this page", and it also makes you look like a complete moron. Don't be a moron, don't disable right click.
