RE: A Shareware Program to PRevent the Copying of Images off of yourSite!

I ran across something sort of by accident that may
provide a semi-protection. Remember, however, that every
graphic on your page will be in the cache, and it really
isn't that difficult to locate the one you want. Perhaps
someone else will comment on methods, if any, to keep
the graphic from going into the cache???

I had a problem on the bannerforge site where in some
cases one couldn't right click on an image to download it.
The answer was that the items were absolutely positioned
using inline styles, and the z-level had part of the image
(or the entire image for small images) UNDER another layer,
which caused the right click to not function. This may be
a nice thing to do on purpose, if one wants to. However,
it WILL NOT keep the graphic from ending up in the cache.
