Foreword
This post is inspired by yet another "how do I disable right-click, so no one can steal my code/images/etc." This may turn into a series of posts which common theme would be The Evil Ways in web design....
:D :D :D
It seems to me that quite a few rookie web designers get a notion, that the content of their web site has an astronomical value and needs to be protected at all cost. While it was long established that anything sent towards the client computer can be accessed by the user, those web designers spent countless hours disabling right clicks, putting fake images onmouseover, etc. Little they know that for every hour spent on such defenses it takes only minutes to crush (or walk around) them... Also when it comes to defenses of this nature thiefs get CHALLENGED and instead of leaving your site alone, now they will steal just to show that they can do it.
Now, if you do have time to spare on useless scripts, here is how Dr. Evil would....
Annoy the **** out of web thiefs
instead of disabling right click - intercept it!!!
On right click (and any other offensive click) redirect to LogIp written in server side script
LogIp would..... log the IP of the client
Have a server side code on all your pages that would serve "Access Denied" page if client IP matches one that has been logged.
:D :D :D
