somewhat control a user from printing website images - 6/13/2003 15:09:16   
sometimes you don' t want people to print the images of website information, maybe you want then to pint a cleaner picture or a bigger map or something else...... maybe you want them to print my avantar instead :)

I had to create this cause the owners didn' t want their images easily stolen:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC " -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" >
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>

<style type=" text/css" >
#print_img {
display:none;
}

@media print {
#print_invisible {
display:none;
}
#print_img {
display:block;
}
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<span id=" print_invisible" >
your web page here
</span>
<img id=" print_img" height=" 100" width=" 100" src=" image.jpg" />
</body>
</html>

also:
through in a bogus no right click script and finally used a html/javascript/vb scrambler:
scriptkeeper (http://amazinglocations.com/heavensrage/index.html)

not i just have to find a way to disable the print screen buttons on a PC and MAC
will post if i find / create something.. which should only take about trillion years

All you manage to do with this sort of thing is to really annoy legitmate visitors and invite attacks from those who know what they are doing.

I presume this should read - " now i just have to find a way to disable the print screen buttons on a PC and MAC"

In other words you want to to mess up my keyboard, the primary input device, quite possibly (for windows users anyway) banjaxing their registry settings also.

Excuse me who gave you permission to try to vandalise my computer?

Could you post the url to this site so that I can warn people of the hostile and reprehensibly irresponsible attitude of its owners? Perhaps if they are so worried they should consider not attempting to attract visitors.

Karsten.

Thank you Karsten for expressing things so well.

especially " who gave you permission to try to vandalise my computer?"

And I agree w/ " Could you post the url to this site so that I can warn people of the hostile and reprehensibly irresponsible attitude of its owners?"

RE: somewhat control a user from printing website images - 6/16/2003 2:06:27   
diable the print screen button... hmmm maybe something like this:

window.onload = function() {
document.onkeydown = function() {
if (event.keyCode == 45) {
alert(" No print screen for you!" );
event.keyCode = null;
return false;
}
}
}

hmm... or maybe the numeric value for the print screen button is 44?
warning: the above code will fool with your registry and will screw up your computer!

RE: somewhat control a user from printing website images - 6/16/2003 2:32:46   
hmmm.. how else could i do this so i screw with people personal computers.... I know...... here is another way:

var message=" Function Disabled!" ;

function clickIE4(){if (event.button==2){alert(message);return false;}}

function clickNS4(e){if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){if (e.which==2||e.which==3){alert(message);return false;}}}

if (document.layers){document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS4;}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){document.onmousedown=clickIE4;}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function(" alert(message);return false" )

if (document.all){
document.onkeydown = function (){
var key_print = 44;

if (key_print==event.keyCode){
alert(" no printing!" );
return false;
}
}
}

warning: the above code will fool with your registry and will screw up your computer!

RE: somewhat control a user from printing website images - 6/16/2003 2:47:53   
hmm i just though of another way, maybe i could create a flash movie and actionScript a listener, embed the movie off screen by using javascript positioning and when the print screen is pressed peoples computers explode.

something like this actionScript should work:

listener_obj = new Object();
listener_obj.onKeyDown = function() {
trace(" <tr><td>" + Key.getAscii() + " </td><td>" +
String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii()) +
" </td><td>" + Key.getCode() + " </td></tr>" );
};
Key.addListener(listener_obj);

hey i just though of another way to totally mess with a users registry on their computer, I' ll turn my animated gif into an applet that will read the event.target instanceof Button... may something like this should get me started:

destroy registry action ( Event event, Object arg )
{
if (even.target instanceof Button )
{
String key = ( String ) arg;

if ( key.equals ( " blah blah blah.....

gorilla,
I presume this should read - " if the whole point of the web is openness


if the whole point of the web is openness then how come i can' t download the database from this forum?

The whole point of the web is openess. There is no " if" about it.

gorilla, if you have designed any websites and on-line applications and or on-line programs, do you think you could put them all in a zip and post a link so we can down load all your stuff?

thanks

I think J-man proved his point:
[1] Jumped the gun about the registry and virus thingy.
[2] Jumped the gun about the web being all about " openness" cause you did not share with us all your on-line stuff. If it is soooo open....Let us have it / take it / give it to us...... let us share... you start first Mr. Preacher and remember if you just put a copywrite on things, with out actually copy writting it, it is against the law as it fall under the chapter of fraud in the big book of corporate legalities, also if someone uses your image even and it has not been registered to have a copywite and the person who stole your image does copywrite it, he can sue you. And in the land of lawyers and easily sued (USA) this is not a good thing.

RE: somewhat control a user from printing website images - 6/19/2003 12:33:29   
I don' t really think any point was proved.

If you do not want to have people read/see/have available anything don' t put it on the net, or password protect it so that only those with the correct credentials can access it.

If you do put it on the net, then any attempt to interfere with the normal functioning of my computer by running nefarious code will be interpreted by me as being an act of aggression.

No right click and its ilk are at the simply annoying end of the scale.
Code that disables a print screen button or that interferes with my registry are right at the other end, up there with viruses, trojans and the like.

ROTFL

Got this right off the US Copyright Office website:

quote:

When is my work protected?
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.

Do I have to register with your office to be protected?
No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section “Copyright Registration.”


Check it out yourself:

RE: somewhat control a user from printing website images - 6/20/2003 1:22:05   
I was talking about just adding a copyrite symbol, that does not work and is actually illegal to treat it as a copywritten image the proper way to copyrite which is also stated in the the above gov link is,

" Each work in which copyright subsists should be marked with a notice in the following form: " © Smith and Company, 1996" . That is, the notice should display the copyright symbol ©, followed by the name of the owner of copyright, followed by the year in which the work was published. This notice is to be displayed in such manner and location as to give reasonable notice of a claim of copyright in the work."

if you do not do the above your out of luck, just adding a © does not cut it for new images

You do not have to add anything.

As already stated - You do not HAVE to add the © or anything for protection! Copyrite is passive - " Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device." .
Bottom line: You create it, you publish it, it' s protected. Peroid - end of discussion! Please?
