    help question Script to Disable Right Click Save As Function on Images

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of a script that can be integrated with Zen-Cart that will display a popup message whenever a person tries to right click on an image and save it? I have posted an online store featuring my photography and don't want my images indiscriminately downloaded without my permission.

    I don't want to go with watermarking if I can prevent it.

    Thanks,
    Brad

    Don't waste your time with a script to disable the right click - if someone wants to save your images then that will not stop them. Alt-F A is just as quick and will get all images on the page, not just one as you do when you right click, and you can't disable that.

    An assumption is what you arrive at when you get tired of thinking...

    You can also just click and drag an image onto the desktop. Can't disable that.

    Best thing to do, if you don't want people using your images, is to watermark them or just use an image that is barely good enough for viewing in a browser, but not nearly good enough for any other use. This also ensures the image is as small (file size-wise) as possible, which is always a good thing.

    Neville is absolutely correct...

    There is nothing you can do to prevent someone copying your image (Alt + PrtSc) will grab the image... All I do then is "paste" it into PhotoShop.

    (My 9-year-old daughter figured this out herself!)

    Very true. I guess I hadn't thought about the Print Screen function. Shows how clearly I think sometimes!
    Thanks
