That thing on websites where you can't Save Picture As! - Page 2

Vaskez · 05-04-2003, 09:25 AM

Ooo first you "dunno" and now you're an expert all of a sudden [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah it's a simple programming task to make a simple browser that saves all content regardless of the cache control header. However, the general masses will not be able to program such a browser. Anyway, you're right, the marked version for public display is probably the best idea. Or just have a thumbnail up for display. Also, you can script password access with any server-side scripting technology.
If someone wants to get something off the web - they will.
JavsScript is never a solution in itself because browsers such as Mozilla have the option to turn all scripts off and then where's your fancy right-click blocking script?

I am not sure if this works, but couldn't you just select the picture and Ctrl+C it?

Vaskez · 05-04-2003, 10:10 AM

No that doesn't work. Try selecting and Ctrl+C -ing the flag in your sig.

There's a program called 'Screan Shot' by Borderbund that will save any screen to a file or folder. I've used it in games to save a location in an active game. It's fairly cheap as software goes. You can save the whole screen or any section of the current screen.

Vaskez · 05-04-2003, 01:53 PM

You don;t need that - you can always capture the contents of the current screen by pressing alt + print screen.

Actually, it did work with Vedrans sig

Vaskez · 05-04-2003, 10:40 PM

Didn't work for me. I'm using Mozilla. Maybe that's why.

Avoiding script problems is fairly simple. Disable running scripts in your security settings. Viola, all scripts are blocked! Of course, that may also mean that other script related things on the page won't work either. It's give and take you know.

BTW: The WSH (Windows Scripting Host) controls the compiling of text based scripts in web pages.

I just found out you can drag and drop pictures from a browser onto your desktop and it becomes a file. dunno if this is winXP only but it looks like a simple security hole to me

I think that feature is available on all OSs. [img]smile.gif[/img] Not sure if it is a loophole in security though.
