there is no way that you disable not the print screen but the recording itself... If you give an way to show some artwork to user, via some webrowser, in any way he could record it somehow. Everything you can view - you can record. so, you must deal with it however you can, one of the best ways is to put the watermark, as someone stated earlier...

There are applications that will allow you to create an invisible watermark. It won't be able to be seen unless you run it back through the application to see the watermark. I am not sure though if that rerally helps people from actually stealing them, but it could prove that you made it.

How to Disable Print Screen?

Replying to TwiggyI have a similar problem. I am a "historian" and not a web programmer, although I do have a monstrous site at www.IndianaMilitary.Org, hosted by the US Army.

I am spending many, many hours re-constructing Infantry Division rosters that were all destroyed by the Army following WW2. Too date, it has nealy 30,000 names, each with a good deal of attached data.

Now I find some museums in Europe are capturing my webpages and using them as thought they had done the work. I don't mind them looking up an individual, but not "listing" all 30,000.

Everything is in HTML tables made by Lotus Approach. (DNF).

I'd like some easy understandable method to keep all my work save yet available. That may not be possible, but I have to ask.

Thanks for any help.

As the topic says, you can't. The best you can do is get a copyright, but even then it doesn't mean you will successfully stop others using it.

a script idea...
How to Disable Print Screen?

If(window.Components) {
var clip, trans, str;

netscape.Security.PrivilegeManager.EnablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');

(str = Components.Classes["@mozilla.Org/supports-string;1"].CreateInstance(Components.Interfaces.NsISupportsString)).Data=text;

if(!(clip = Components.Classes['@mozilla.Org/widget/clipboard;1'].CreateInstance(Components.Interfaces.NsIClipboard))) return;

if(!(trans = Components.Classes['@mozilla.Org/widget/transferable;1'].CreateInstance(Components.Interfaces.NsITransferable))) return;
trans.AddDataFlavor('text/unicode');

trans.SetTransferData("text/unicode",str,text.Length*2);

clip.SetData(trans,null,Components.Interfaces.NsIClipboard.KGlobalClipboard);
}

How to Disable Print Screen?

I had googled a lot of printscreens (disabling) and no-caching

And had the following conclusions:

1. There is no way to disable print screen w/o javascript, either clear clipboard.

2. You can call a image with a php, and add no-cache headers in the image-loader php

like <img src=img.Php>, IE will not cache the image though.

3. NEVER put any sensitive images on the internet, it will leak sooner or later.

Answer
How to Disable Print Screen?

Use a multi-pronged approach.

Disable dragging/highliting via javascript (so many scripts to do this, google it)

Disable right click (again, google it)

Disable print-scrn (google it)

Then watermark, use lower res images online & hope for the best.

BOTTOM-BOTTOM-LINE:

Simply put for the lamen: If you or your users can SEE an image then that image is on your PC. Your browser had to download it (or in case of streaming, a part of it) to your PC in order to show it to you. THAT SAID: all of the above are just means of discouraging people. There is no 100% way to protect your images, your content, or --- just about anything, anywhere.
