No there is not a way. The way the web works is by sending your content to someone else' computer. Once it's there, they have a copy, whether it's in their cache or actually saved as a file. There's no way to prevent a determined user from stealing your images, trust me on this one, a good number of my photoshops are being sent around as anonymous "funny" emails. You can disable right-clicking with javascript, but this is pointless. In IE, the user can just drag your image up to the address bar and poof, your javascript is gone. And on browsers that can't do that, there's still the cache. Even if, by some scripting voodoo you manage to keep your images from ending up in the cache, what's the keep the user from just doing a screen capture? -- S.
