Hehe well until Willow came along I was about to tell you that it's JavaScript etc.

IIRC in ASP you can also prevent files being cached - now THAT is how you stop people stealing your images

Of course you need to be on a host that runs Internet Information Services Server.

More specifically you have to set the "Cache-Control" HTTP header to "no-cache". Then people's browsers will simply not cache your images. Use this in conjunction with right-click disabling or whatever and people will really be annoyed

As I said this requires that your site is made with a server-side scriping technology like ASP, JSP or PHP.
