Heres a script that will crash their browser if they right click (only if they have javascript turned on) not that I use or recommend it:

<head><script language="Javascript">
function click() {
if ((event.button==2) | | (event.button==3)) {
now = new Date()
var hours = now.getHours()
var minutes = now.getMinutes()
var seconds = now.getSeconds()
var ap = "AM"
if (hours > 12)
{var ap = "PM" , hours = hours-12 ;}
if (minutes < 10)
{minutes = "0"+minutes}
if (seconds < 10)
{seconds = "0"+seconds}
window.status = hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+ap
document.title = hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+ap
onload=click()
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
</script></head>

Randall - It's not really a question of important images. All my grphics are either custom for my site (with my site's name) or public domain.

I raised this question because I was visiting a competator's site (I do this regularly to check up on the competition) and noticed he all of a sudden had a similar layout as my site and was using many of the same graphics/icons/buttons. I can't prove he copied it from my site but he never had such graphics before, and from the way he was using the graphics it looked very much like he was trying to copy my design.

What's done is done. But I have other ideas for graphics and layouts and was hoping for a way to protect from this sort of thing happening.

I woudln't worry about it, please do not add that stupid right click code... it drives me nuts, I like to open links in a new windows and such. Also, what images do you have that are so important? Maybe add a watermark with your site url on them so people couldn't use them.

Can't save the background image with something like this ('least not in ie 5)

might actually fool someone.

You can use a JavaScript. Which displays a message whenever someone right clicks on the page, which doesn't allow them to right click and use "save picture as".

It's no where near "secure", as anyone can still view the source and directly enter the URL of the image.

Randall, that's an idea, but you can still save a background image.

Make the image a background of a css div.

Someone here said there is a way to protect the graphics on your site from someone doing a right-click and save image. But they didn't elaborate on how to do it.

Can someone explain how? Thanks!
