Thanks Murray but it still does not solve my problem completely, my client has had text and pictures stolen from there website and they have been used on a rival companys site. they have asked me to make sure this does not happen again so i need to be able to lock the pictures and text, to stop anyone clicking, copying and printing the right click works but you can still copy from the brouser. so i still need some help on this(tried to e-mail you but it bounced back)

Call a lawyer and sue them.

>they have asked me to make sure this does not happen again

The only way to ensure that is to take down the site completely.
Obviously that's not an option.

As said - this is definitely and absolutely I M P O S S I B L E. You
have to accept that. If something is published in the web, it can be
used and abused. In case of the latter your best chance is to take legal
steps. You can't do anything technically.

For pictures, the best approach is to add a watermark of your url to your photos. This will probably prevent someone from using them. You can use the PHP GD library to add a watermark dynamically.

Thanks everyone for that, i will inform my clients, they are taking legal action. i just wanted to knw if there was any sort of javascript or html coding that i could use to disable the options of copying. In the mean time if anyone has further thoughts then please let me know. I have heard of a program called secure html lock 1.3.6 but i dont know how effective it is or if its compatible with dreamweaver.

You cant try this, it disable the right click from page, it only supports microsoft window and even then pictures can be taken from a screen shot, and copy and pasting text can still be done via the page source.

I guess you client will need the work of a solicitor rather than a develper

That's a crappy suggestion, honestly. It would cheapen your page and make
it very unfriendly.

Anyone that tells you they can prevent this is smoking crack.

Nope. Go with the watermarks on images.

Waste of money.
It would be better to send the $49.95 to me instead ... ;)

Why do you need to do that?

very funny guy's 🙂 i did find some coding but it only works in IE. So back to the drawing board. most of my images are in flash but i will watermark them anyway just incase. From my clients point of view another company has completely taken there information of a specific service and are using it to poach clients. My clients published this information in a magazine and on there site so we know who it is and they are dealing with it. They just wanted to make sure that it could not happen again, Due to the competition, but they have to have this information on there site for there potential clients. Cheers Guy's 🙂

Its like a book, its out there, with a copyright notice, but nothing can
physically prevent someone from copying it. The same is true with the
web, if it can be displayed on the screen, then it can be copied. It
sounds like your client is doing all they can, legal action. Good luck
with convincing your client!

Just one addendum to what others have said about products like this
being useless. Products that claim to "secure" your HTML code do so by
writing the page content dynamically using JavaScript. In addition to
the general ineffectiveness of this approach, using JavaScript to write
the page content will make the page completely invisible to search
engines, screen readers, and anyone who does not have JavaScript
enabled. There is a huge negative impact of using something like that.

Keep in mind that 'copyright' is a LEGAL term...not at technology term.

The solution is lawyers. Not web designers.

The watermark suggestion is about the best solution the web designer can
implement. Anything else needs to be sent to the lawyer.

"How do I lock my HTML code from plagerism?"

Did you mean to post this in the applications board, or the general HTML discussion board?

You can't fully protect anything generated using a server-side application because it is unique, new, and "previously undiscovered" until that person makes that request. It is not something you created, it is something a computer server-side computer generated. If anyone has a copyright to those pages, it is your web host, and not you.

Fortunately, you can copyright the "static" elements of your pages. You can copyright the pictures, descriptions, etc. But the whole page? If you don't understand this point, you need a lawyer, even before you really need a lawyer.

Relax, have a beer, and enjoy life a bit.

You can't....there is always a way around something.

Use watermarks for your images, and text, well, nothing you can do.
