Hi,<br />
<br />
I created a site with some kind of picture gallery and some weeks later I found 2 sites which were almost exact copies of it. One of those guys even linked my images directly from his site...I emailed him with no effect, then renamed my images. Two days later he linked them again
<br />
So are there any way to protect my code and entire content and make impossible stealing it(or at least much harder)<br />
I can't use asp or any server side stuff.<br />
<br />
Thanks<!--content-->yes! you can set an htaccess file or make a setup on your server so no images can be accessed unless they are from the same source dir or url. I know the Doc can help some more on this... <br />
<br />
check back for more info later<br />

1. No right-click scripts can be broken.<br />
2. Images and other files can be taken from the "Temperory Internet Files" folder:<br />

C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files<br />

Remember that you can make it harder for people to steal your files, but there are still ways to get it.<!--content-->The best program for that purpose in my opinion is HTML Guardian<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.protware.com">http://www.protware.com</a><!-- m --><br />
It encrypts the source code,and has some really amazing features like to make the page not to work offline, to disable text selection and page printing and many others.<br />
Of course images can be retrieved from the cache, but at least no one can link them directly, and it will be impossible for someone to Download <!--more--> your entire site at once with a siteripper like Teleport.<!--content-->heres a cource code encrypter. Okay so the user goes to view source and only gets some really wierd code.<br />

I tried the code <a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"http://www.htmlforums.com">html forums</A><br />
<br />
and it changed it to<br />
<script><br />
<!--<br />
document.write(unescape("%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A//www.htmlforums.com%22%3Ehtml%20forums%3C/A%3E"));<br />
//--><br />
</script><br />
<br />
pretty, cool eh? But users are still able to still take your pics<!--content-->Thank you very much for the help and the suggestions!<br />
I tried the tools you suggested. Html guard is not bad, but often can't scramble pages with javascripts, dhtml menus,etc - files have errors. This source code encryptor is kind of lame, I mean anyone can do a similar script which will reverse what it does. I also got some similar apps searching shareware sites.<br />
But HTML Guardian really seems to be 'da tool'
it scrambled all i tested with no errors, and really has some very cool additional options to make source stealing harder, thanks Ian_M.<!--content-->
