What if I want to right click and use the context menu to bookmark your
page? You have just lost me as a return visitor.

It's easy to inhibit right click and **** off you visitors. However anybody
who wants to look at your source has at their disposal about 8 other ways of
getting to it.

Oh, by the way, there is this rule: The desire to hide your source code from
anybody else is in inverse proportion to the value of that code to anybody
else.

Finally, did it ever occur to you to search the history of this newsgoup?
This question comes up at least once a week and gives us lots of fun... Let
the flames begin.

Cheers
Richard.

You can't do it.

Your first stop for this type of question should be the FAQ sites
http://www.allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?Prot...m_being_stolen
http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/publish.html#hide-source

And many more

It's a waste of time - anyone who has the ability to use copied source has
the ability to get round the no-right-click script. If it's JavaScript code
that you're after, all anyone has to do is switch off js.

By the time a browser is displaying the page, the source is in the cache of
the visitor's computer and, once it's there, it's always going to be a
simple task to look at it - and the same with images.

Your site may be the exception to the rule but, in my experience, the more
someone tries to hide their code, the less it is worth stealing. The major
sites - which have cost hundreds of thousands to develop - don't use
no-right-click scripts and they have a far greater investment to protect.

If you really must have a script, there are 2,000,000+ pages referenced at:

Or you could let others explain the problem more eloquently than I by having
a look at:

I used this javascript below on one of my 'hobby' sites as lots of people
were 'Hotlinking' to the images in message-forums.

It's not perfect but it's cured the 'Hotlinking' problem. It's only placed on
the "Enlarged images" pages if you want to try it here at ...
http://www.Gilera-Nexus.co.uk - Just alter the text to suit your own
requirements.


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var ErrMsg = "Please do not 'Hotlink' to these images";
function disableRightClick (btnClick)
{
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && btnClick.which == 3)
{
alert(ErrMsg);
return false;
}
else if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && event.button
== 2)
{
alert(ErrMsg);
return false;
}
}
document.onmousedown = disableRightClick;
-->
</script>

I agree with you about the problem of hot-linking but I'm afraid that the
above doesn't stop it. The script makes it marginally harder to find the
file name for the image - one has to simply switch off js - but it doesn't
actually affect hot-linking. That has to be done at the server.

Obviously the folks who were 'hotlinking' didn't have quite the
*intelligence* that the regulars on this group have !! (or else they felt
sorry for me).

I realise that, but it was just a quick option when I realised the drain on
my bandwidth was occurring.

Or the thing I use a lot since getting Mozilla, Open Link in New Tab.
Tabbed browsing is great, so it eally ****es me when someone monkeys
with the right click.

I always look at this (and similar issue) like the "no shirt no shoes,
no service" signs.

It's not that I don't want you business, I just want you to do it my
way. If you don't want to do it my way then fine, don't come in.

At a store on the boardwalk of a beach, you would be silly to have that
sign. At a fine restaurant you would be silly to not have it.
Different things work for different sites.

Aside from my previous post, in this case, I completely agree with you.
He is likely to **** off visitors tat try to right click on the page.

Right on the money
