protect images from downloading - simple but uneffective

Post by marcus@localhorst »

hi,
sometimes there is the question, how to protect images from downloading via right click.
anyone know, that is not possible in html documents because evry source is downloaded to local harddisc in cache, or just looking the sourcecode and copy the picturepath into adressbar of browser.

anyway - I came across a simple trick, to display images rightclick protected.
just use

Code: Select all

<input type="image" src="Bild.jpg"/>
8)

but as I wrote - it's uneffectiv and just fool web novices!
so forget it! :mrgreen:
I just want to share this, because I was fooled too in the first moment I try to download a picture with disabled JS and it still doesn't work :oops:
