Images are displayed by your web browser by doing a request for the image file and "downloading it" to a temporary location. There are various steps you can try to take to make it more difficult, but they add various layers of complexity to your system and they're easily beaten. Even ignoring the various transfer mechanisms, what's to stop someone from taking a screenshot of the webpage and cropping out the image? If it's photographs we're talking about you could place a watermark on them.

There are more or less two possibilities A. Make the images smaller. B. Don't make them publicly available through the webserver B1. Place the images in a directory that requires login/password B2. Make the images only available after a CAPTCHA is filled out.

Re: [css-d] denying the downloading of img
If images are visible on a webpage, they can be aquired by anyone accessing the webpage. There is no way around it. There are so many ways someone can get themthere is no solution that covers them all. It is impossible.

Re: [css-d] denying the downloading of img
I have a request to stop anyone from copying and downloading images from the website I am working on now. Someone told me that that is possible with css. I have researhed it, but have not been able to find anything on that. I have a few questions. 1. is it possible with css? 2. if it is how do I go about it? 3. if it is not possible, what do I need to use to do it? The website is necwa.org, and this concerns mostly the footer images as these are fairly large, and the organization would like to prevent their downloading. Thanks.
