i've got a website i'm working on...

http://webpages.charter.net/smiling_samurai/gtp/profile.html

...and am trying to make the large central image unavailable for saving. i mean, when you mouse over the image, it brings up the little icon in the corner to save/print/etc. this doesn't happen for the small images, just the large one. anyone know how to turn this off so that when they mouse over it, nothing happens? :confused:

That's IE-only thing. Try this in your <head> section:

<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

It'll keep the annoying popup out of the way. Note, though, that if you're trying to keep the image from being printed at all, that's a lost cause. But I'm sure you knew that already :)

;) you can still right click on the images on your site and save them or you can go to view source if you have right click disabled, and find the link to the image then save it way i see it if its on the net it can prolly be downloaded, someone could use the file save html command in IE and get your webpage as a whole including the images

In the end, there's no way to hide your images, we can all take them if we wanted to. Search on the forum, we've had long discussions about this:)

Everybody take a deep breath-- I don't think he was asking how to prevent saving an image as much as getting rid of IE's image toolbar...
