I look after a site for a baton twirling assosciation and have a gallery of images on an html page and individual pages. Is it possible to lock each page so that the user cannot right click and save picture. the assosciation are worried about adults looking at pictures of young girls.

I am currently moving the gallery to flash so that they don’t have this problem but I would like some sort of security in the meantime?

**as\_clark20** - i dont know about disabling ‘view source’, but here is a link to a Source Code Encryptor, that will make your source code extrememly hard to decipher, but by golly, it displays the same… A really cool tool for making your html a bit harder to pirate…

**UnblessedOmega** - that menu can be disabled locally (on your comp), but as far as i know, there is no way to stop others from doing that crap… the only way that i know of is to put your images as backgrounds inside of borderless tables, as that menu seems to only appear above pictures placed with the ‘img src’ tag…  
yah dig??
