Need help to protect my page content - disable copy & paste

Post by kingsz1 »

Hi, I had try to place the javescript in a blob, but it could not work. Also I had try put below code in temp:

or for the picture

the picture was really could not display menu.

But just simple use Ctrl + A, all the page content will be copied and then could be pasted into M$ Word.

Any solution to protest the page content? Thank you in advanced.

Sorry to say but there is no foolproof way to protect your page content.

One can always use browser with javascript disabled or wget -R all pages at once.

If you can see it you can use it.....

There are many (but as tsw said not really secure) ways:

1. To protect images against copy and paste you can use the real image as background and a transparent dummy image with the same width/height as foreground. Only the transparent dummy will be copied. If you are using this technique with such a module like truetype text it should work also with text.

2. Sometimes these meta tags in can be useful to deactivate caching:









3. Then you can protect your images directory with a .htaccess file

4. You can also use a combo with first one and a challange id (sorry, the howto on my harddisk is too big for a short translation  :)). But this will perhaps not work with CMSms.

5. To the last you can use flash as output format for text (and images). But there  you must install the ming project on your server (or you create the swf file local).

You might find some javascripts at www.dynamicdrive.com but like they said with JS disabled it might not work.

as tsw said, there is no absolute guaranteed way of protecting web page content. if it is browsable, it can be captured or saved, regardless of anything you may try to do to prevent it. you can make things more difficult or annoying (depending on your perspective), but there is no sure-fire, 100% guaranteed method.

if you rely on javascript remember that an estimated 10% of web users have javascript disabled in their browser, and some browsers have built in capability to 'unblock' a blocked context menu.

even if you tried every trick in the book, all a user needs to do to swipe an image off a web page is capture the screen or window.

other options you can do are: disable hotlinking from outside sites (keep people from directly linking to your images from other sites); use as low of a quality and resolution as you can, with it still looking ok on your site (discourages editing for reuse and hires printing); and for pictures, place a small (C) notice on them to gently remind folks of your copyright.

if you're really that concerned about people reusing your images on other web sites, you can use digital watermarks and subscribe to a service that scours the web looking for your watermarked images being used where they're not supposed to be. see http://www.digimarc.com/mypicturemarc/ for one such service.
