i am looking for some feedback on my site - <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sigmaphotography.com">www.sigmaphotography.com</a><!-- w --><br />
<br />
i am still trying to figure out how to keep people from "stealing" my pictures. i have figures out how to prevent right clicks but not not the little save box that ie brings up when you scroll over a pic.<br />
<br />
also i am trying to figure out how to mouse over a picture and get it hightlight (i.e. bold) a link that appears on my navigation bar.<br />
<br />
thank you in advance for any help and/or feedback.<!--content--><META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no"><br />

please understand that when someone is looking at your images, that means that they are already Download <!--more-->ed to the user's machine, generally into the temporary internet files folder or somesuch. so they've already got it, whether they know it or not. and if they don't know they already have it, they can always get the URL from your source. and there's almost no way of hiding your source code. failing all that... screenshots hullo?<br />
<br />
best to just give up trying to keep things locked down and instead post a copyright statement and user agreement.<br />
<br />
as for the second thing, you'll likely hafta use some sort of JavaScript. search around on the various script sites, i'm sure you'll find something you can modify and use. keep in mind that many people surf with j/s turned off.<!--content-->You cannot stop people stealing your images. All you can do is reduce the resolution and colour depth so that the image is no longer useful to other people, or add a watermark, or a "copyright xxx.com" caption within the image.<br />
<br />
While I'm here, you have some [errors (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigmaphotography.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitional&ss=1&outline=1&sp=1">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ine=1&sp=1</a><!-- m -->)] in your HTML code that need fixing:<br />
<br />
Add type="text/javascript" to every <script> tag.<br />
<br />
Add alt="some text" to every <img > tag. On unimportant images, like spacer elements, and bullet-point images, a minimum of alt="" is fine. Search engines do index the alt text.<br />
<br />
Closing tags never have attributes, so stuff like </font size></font color></font face> should only be </font> instead. Opening <font> tags can be combined, so that the tag has three attributes. You do not need three tags each one having just one attribute.<br />
