Re: Browser Control Help

Hi Dan, You are sooo right. We know certain kindda people would love to break the code just cuz its there :D I am least worried about programmers. Its stupid rich Art collage kids I am trying to prevent using my stuff. You would be amazed to know I walked in SVA( School of Visual Arts), NYC & saw my painting exactly as is printed in their merit list with a kid's name under. What I want to achieve is, only my homepage will have File, View, Edit menus. I have mapped navigation over images, once they go anywhere it should open a window that has no menus like http://creative.gettyimages.com/ uses for display of images. I am not even sweating hot-linking. Thanks a lot for the input, C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Parry" <dan@virtuawebtech.co.uk> To: "'Chirantan Ghosh'" <cghosh@primarywave.com> Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 10:32 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] Browser Control Help

Hi No probs... I hate cross-browser problems myself and any help I get with them I appreciate :) Securing your public facing graphics and/or code is essentially too difficult to achieve... You can't (I'm pretty sure of this) remove (or disable) the menus in the browser (security implications there) There are usually ways around these client-side types of protection too... consider that if a person really does want to see your code/steal your pics they will look for ways around the system... Usually these exist with injection of JS into the URL (this is evident in at least 1 commercial system... can't remember what it is though :) ) Also, if a user can get your image path (on hover in Opera, for instance) the image URL can be directly input and stolen from there I decided a while ago to bite the bullet and accept that there are things I can't protect... I can't remember much of the research I did on the subject but it was pretty damning Last point... There are people out there that will break security on your site purely because it's there That's my 2 penn'orth :) Dan -----Original Message----- From: Chirantan Ghosh [mailto:cghosh@primarywave.com] Sent: 05 December 2005 15:20 To: Dan Parry Subject: Re: [PHP] Browser Control Help Hi Dan, Thanks a lot man...as you can guess I am more a designer than a coder (unfortunately). Do you know how to fix the problem for Firefox? I really would appreciate the help.

Not disabled in Firefox... Just did some copying and printed a screen... also disabling ALT doesn't affect printscreen in IE... just took a screeny there too -----Original Message----- From: Chirantan Ghosh [mailto:cghosh@primarywave.com] Sent: 05 December 2005 15:05 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Browser Control Help Hi All, I was wondering how do in trick in PHP page <head> part?
