disable click-drag image grabbing

[Shecky]

is there such a thing as a script that prevents a user from saving an image on my webpage to his or her drive by dragging it to their desktop?

I'm not terrbly interested in protecting my content, i just think the ability to do so is especially tacky in my current layout. I found one that stopped them via an alert window, but thats just lame.

thanks, smart ppl.

You cannot stop people from saving text or images once
they have been downloaded into their computer. At best you can slow them down a bit, or perhaps block the very inexperienced.

i wonder if you read my entire post at all.

I realize, at the very least the images are in the users temporary internet page files, but like i said, i dont really want to protect my content, i just want to stop them from being able to drag and drop and image file to their desktop.

A similar idea to the no right click, or the no text select scripts.

If someone knows of such a script, or how to put it together simply, that would be great. Like i said its not critical, i just want it as an element of style in my page.

<script type="text/javascript">

document.ondragstart = function () { return false; };

</script>


IE-only, but that's what most people use anway
