Image Copying Deterrent

Note: In code examples I add a period after each left arrow
bracket so the code can be viewed in all email programs. If 
you copy and paste, be sure to remove the periods or it won't 
work.


Nothing will stop someone from stealing your images if they 
are determined, but you can make it as difficult as possible 
and thwart the majority of would-be thieves. Instead of just 
placing an image on your page, place it inside a modified 
span tag, like this:

<.span oncontextmenu="return false;"
ondragstart="return false">
<.img src="picture.jpg">
<./span>

If they right click to copy or save your image when it's 
coded like this, or if they try to drag and drop it to save 
it, they won't have any luck in about 95% of the browsers 
in use.
