best way to enable `no right click` in v8?

[george]

Just to avoid getting general images getting linked to.


PS Any disadvantages to disabling this feature (right clickin') ? Saleswise I mean.

i think this has probably been yakked about before, but your options are:

watermark the images
- works every time

use javascript to disable right clicking
- cross browser issues
- annoying

use a flash movie image proxy
- requires flash

place the image in a single celled table, or div, that has the image as a background, and palce a single pixel transparent gif inside the container.
- right clicking and saving users will get the tiny gif instead of the image
- tech savvy users will easily be able to steal the image.


all these methods, apart from watermarking will allow your images to be captured using the print screen key.

Hi George

I would defo go down the route of water marking.

Disabling right click is a bad accessibility move IMHO.

You use Adobe PS? They have an inbuilt feature for this.

Hmmm. I'd like to keep the images looking as they are, but prevent hotlinking mainly, as many are suitable as avatars....
